Nike has announced a new collaboration with basketball star LeBron James for a Voltage Green edition of its iconic Air Force 1 sneaker, set for release in 2026. This limited edition features a bold green color and retains the model's classic design elements. The partnership aims to blend sporting heritage with contemporary style, generating excitement among sneaker enthusiasts.
The Nike Air Force 1 is returning to prominence in 2026 through a collaboration with LeBron James, marking another partnership between the athlete and the Swoosh brand. This edition, named Nike Air Force 1 x LeBron “Voltage Green,” introduces a vivid green hue across the upper, contrasting with more subdued versions of the model. The design adheres to the classic codes of the Air Force 1, including its iconic silhouette, thick sole, and premium leather upper, while incorporating modern touches and signature details recognizable to LeBron fans.
Technical features include Air cushioning in the sole for lightness and comfort, ensuring durability consistent with Nike's standards. Every aspect of the shoe was validated by LeBron’s team and Nike designers, reflecting a shared commitment to quality. As stated in the announcement, “This Nike Air Force 1 x LeBron perfectly embodies the meeting of sporting heritage and contemporary style.”
Nike anticipates high demand for this limited edition, aimed at collectors and fans of streetwear and basketball. Previous LeBron x Nike Air Force 1 releases have sold out quickly, and the resale market is expected to see significant activity. The sneaker will be available through the official Nike website, the SNKRS app, and select authorized retailers. Buyers are advised to create a Nike account and enable notifications in advance. While the retail price remains unannounced, it is expected to align with the range for special edition Air Force 1s.
This release is part of Nike's 2026 lineup, which includes several milestone products that innovate while honoring the brand's heritage.
