With the Air Force 1 ‘NYC’, Nike pays tribute to LeBron James' 23rd NBA season while making another strong contribution to the AF1's return to the spotlight. While previous versions were dedicated to Kobe Bryant or Ja Morant, LeBron himself is now the centre of attention.

The model features a shiny black patent leather upper, complemented by a semi-transparent, crown-shaped midsole and obsidian-coloured outsole elements. Numerous personal references to LeBron are woven throughout the design: the tongue features the lettering ‘Air Chosen 1’, while the classic “AIR” branding on the midsole has been replaced with a ‘GOAT’ graphic. The insole features crown graphics and a reference to the city of New York, which is also mentioned on the heel pull tab. Further details include the embossed ‘LBJ’ logo on the heel, metallic accents in gold and a special insole with drop-in function.

The sneaker is expected to be released in December 2025, with an exact date still to be confirmed. The retail price is approximately €200.

The sneaker will be available worldwide via Nike.com and at selected Nike basketball retailers. As always, check out Grailify for the latest information and exclusive images.
