The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Black Rat” is Nike’s newest entry in an ongoing rodent-themed series built around New York City. The shoe pairs a furry upper treatment with a darker colorway, expanding a lineup that kicked off with the “Subway Rat” release this past July.
New York’s sneaker spotlight brightened this June when the Knicks made franchise history, and Nike has leaned into that momentum ever since. Beyond opening a new SoHo location, the brand hosted a summer activation with Jae Tips and has kept rolling out city-tied colorways across its Air Force 1 line, including releases like the Air Force 1 “Philly”. The “Black Rat” keeps that regional focus going, arriving about a month after the original “Subway Rat” pair introduced MetroCard hangtags and an ’01 build to the concept.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Black Rat” Design
Design-wise, the “Black Rat” follows the same rodent-inspired blueprint as its predecessor. Furry material covers the Swoosh, vamp, and collar tabs, sitting alongside Nike NYC branding and a pale pink outsole shared with the “Subway Rat.” Tumbled leather adds texture through the base, while a small eye peeking out from the heel gives the pair a moodier, more menacing spin on the theme. JustFreshKicks will track official images and confirmed pricing as Nike moves the “Black Rat” closer to release.
What Is Nike’s “Rat Pack” Air Force 1 Series?
It’s an ongoing set of New York City-themed Air Force 1 Low colorways built around a rodent motif, starting with the “Subway Rat” in July and continuing with the “Black Rat.”
