Nike's Air Force 1 Low Retro is back in a new 'Heat Map' colorway, and it's available to shop on Complex.

The Air Force 1 has been a cornerstone of sneaker culture since its 1982 debut as the first basketball shoe to use Nike Air cushioning. Decades later, the low-top silhouette remains one of the most recognizable shoes in the world—and the Retro line keeps that legacy alive by revisiting the original construction and proportions that made it iconic.

The 'Heat Map' colorway layers Black, Racer Blue, Volt Ice, and Bright Crimson across the low-top frame, pulling from a palette that reads like a thermal scan; cool tones ground the base while the warmer accents push forward. It's a departure from the all-white or tonal builds the AF1 is most associated with, and a reminder of how well the silhouette holds up when Nike leans into color.
