Nike Air Force 1 ’07 ‘Floral’ Release Date IR8617-900

2026 will go down as the year that Nike reintroduced the Air Force 1 in its beloved ’01 form, but the remastered reissue isn’t the only reoccurring AF1 theme this year. Flowers have been an unexpected constant on the 1980s retro model, appearing in forms both subtle and flashy. One of the latest floral pairs leans all the way into the latter, covering the entire upper in a red flower pattern.

The new women’s Air Force 1 ’07 Floral is available now from select retailers. Built around a black leather base, the Multi-color/Off Noir-Cinnabar colorway is plastered with a repeating red flower print across every panel of the shoe aside from the heel, tongue and Swoosh. Those elements take on a faded black Off Noir appearance, while red is used as a branding accents color on the tongue, heel and midsole. Overall, the new look is somewhat reminiscent of Nike SB’s “The Wizard of Oz” Dunk Low collaboration, although more restrained in its use of color.

Other recent floral-themed Air Force 1s of note include styles with removable, graphic-printed leather shrouds that feature flower cutouts and are designed to shed with wear. Thus far, Nike Sportswear has issued leaf, cherry blossom and sunflower-shrouded versions of the theme. The brand also released a women’s “Florette” version of the Air Force 1 ’07 with flower-shaped leather cutout attachments. 

While many of the floral releases have been women’s-exclusive styles, Nike hasn’t overlooked the sneaker’s male demographic. The brand answered the wishes of AF1 purists this year with the remastered Air Force 1 ’01 mold, which has thus far been released through a “LO2” collaboration with Nigo and in the sneaker’s staple Triple White colorway.

This Nike Air Force 1 ’07 Floral is set to be released from nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers on Aug. 16, but it’s already available early from stockists including Hibbett, where most sizes are still available now for $125. The sneaker’s style code is IR8617-900.
