Update January 14, 2026 – The first rumors about a Nike Air Force 1 Low collaboration with British drill rapper Central Cee had been circulating for quite some time. The artist has been collaborating with Nike for some time and released an Air Max 95 last year.
Now, the first images of the Air Force 1 Low have finally surfaced, a sneaker that strikingly resembles a BAPE STA.
The sneaker arrives in a black-and-grey colorway, featuring glossy patent leather. A white Swoosh is placed on the mid-panel, creating a strong contrast. On the heel, a graphic logo appears that references the artist’s personal branding.
The sneaker was already teased by Central Cee himself on his Instagram account at the end of 2025, although it was not yet clear at the time that this was an official collaboration. Now that we can see the design in its entirety, including the co-branding, it’s clear that Central Cee was closely involved in the creative process.
The release is scheduled as a UK-exclusive drop with a release date set for February 26, 2026. Keep an eye on the Sneakerjagers news page for updates on this and other upcoming releases.

This isn’t the first time Central Cee and Nike have made waves—they previously teamed up on the Nike Tech Fleece and an Air Max 95 'Live Yours' release last October. Now, rumours are swirling about an upcoming Air Force 1 collection featuring unique colourways.
Following his success with his debut album CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS, the artist is reportedly working on three new colourways for the AF1. While official images and release details are still limited, the colourways are expected to be both versatile and tied to the English artist’s heritage.
The specific design remains undisclosed beyond the listed colourways. It’s reported that the 'Black' version will see a global release.
