Yes, you read that right. Nike has just released the Nike Air Force 1 'Dirty Triple White' in collaboration with their sublabel .SWOOSH: a sneaker that comes delivered dirty and gets better with every step – though it also comes with a toothbrush to help remove the top layer.
So what's going on here? At first glance, this Air Force 1 looks like it's already been through several festivals and hikes. The upper appears damaged and slightly discolored, and even the sole looks used. But if there’s one thing that’s a no-go for sneakerheads, it’s beat-up Air Force 1s. So why would Nike release this?

It’s all in the upper. Unlike the distressed designs by Balenciaga – yes, that Converse lookalike from 2022 – or PUMA’s recently released Inhale Distressed in collaboration with A$AP Rocky, the dirty part of the Nike Air Force 1 'Dirty Triple White' is removable.
Beneath the dirty upper of the sneaker is a brand new Air Force 1, exactly as you're used to. The more you wear the shoe, the more the worn top layer wears away, revealing the 'clean' version underneath. A reversed process, in other words.
If you'd prefer to speed up this process, you can also scrub away the upper using the included toothbrush.
The .SWOOSH x Nike Air Force 1 'Dirty Triple White' will be released on May 7, 2025, at Nike for a retail price of €130. Although for thirty bucks on Vinted, you can get a second-hand sneaker that looks exactly the same.
