Over a year has passed since a wear-test sample of the unreleased Nike SB Air Force 1 Low first surfaced, and now we're potentially learning more about when the sneaker is hitting retail.

According to Sneaker Files, the Nike SB Air Force 1 Low will release in the "Light Orewood Brown" (style code: HM8517-100) and "Flax" (style code: HM8517-200) colorways next summer. Given its far-out release, images of the styles have yet to leak. The versions shown here are mock-ups of what fans can expect to drop next year.

The "Light Orewood Brown" is expected to sport a light grey color scheme on the upper and paired with a gum outsole, while the "Flax" version will likely don a tonal wheat makeup. As previously reported, this SB version of the Air Force 1 Low will likely feature upgrades that make the shoe more suitable for skateboarding, but the specifics have not yet been revealed.

At the time of writing, the release of the Nike SB Air Force 1 Low has yet to be announced by the brand. Check back soon for new developments in the coming months.

UPDATE (05/29): Nike has confirmed that the “Flax” SB Air Force 1 Low will be released on June 9 via SNKRS and at select stockists for $120. Grab a closer look at the upcoming release below.
