The Nike Air Force 1 Jewel “Wolf Grey”, a legendary sneaker with a rich history, rises from its slumber. It has been almost a year since we last heard from this iconic shoe. The last time it graced our eyes was back in August of 2023. Now it’s ready for a big comeback, and we’re here to give you your first look at the gray colorway of this timeless classic.
The Nike Air Force 1 Jewel “Wolf Grey” maintains its tried-and-true composition with a smooth grain leather upper. The design also incorporates nylon tongues and a sports mesh lining, staying true to its roots. What sets this Air Force 1 Jewel apart is the smaller, more dimensional emblem that can be seen on both the medial and upper. The swoosh on this ’82 icon seems to jump out, reflecting a smoky translucent aesthetic. This aspect is a perfect match for the somber palette of light smoke and wolf grey on the sole, reminiscent of classic Nike designs from 1996 and beyond.

Nike’s approach with this release seems to be a nod to the classics of the past. It’s a clear reminder of the Air Force 1 “Linen”, Air 180 “Ultramarine” and other timeless sneakers that influenced sneaker culture more than twenty years ago. Is it time for Nike to bring back the original colorways of this AF1 variant? Only the future will tell, but for now we can bask in the knowledge that the Swoosh has plans for this unique model come fall 2024.
