The Nike Air Force 1 Low “NYC Rat” has been officially revealed, giving the classic low top a grittier, rodent inspired makeover. Nike builds the shoe in dark gray leather layered with brown faux fur across the Swoosh, collar and heel, pulling from one of New York City’s most familiar street dwellers.

This release lands alongside an “MTA MetroCard” colorway as one half of a two pair New York City pack. It follows Nike’s Air Force 1 Low “Black Rat” first look, part of a wider rat themed rollout across the Air Force line this year, and the concept also extends to a separate “Black Subway Rat” pair built in black pebbled leather. JustFreshKicks will have full details on the “MTA MetroCard” companion pair as soon as Nike confirms them.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “NYC Rat” Design

The dark gray leather upper carries brown faux fur across the Swoosh logos, collar and heel counter, with fuzzy laces added to match the textured build. Nike stitched a hidden red eye into the heel fur as a nod to the rodent concept, while “NYC” branding sits on the tongue tag. A black midsole with brown “AIR” lettering pairs with a muted pink translucent outsole, and metallic lace dubraes finish the forefoot.

What Inspired the Nike Air Force 1 Low “NYC Rat” Colorway?

The design pulls from New York City’s rat population, pairing dark gray leather with brown faux fur and a hidden red eye stitched into the heel to give the shoe a rodent inspired, gritty finish.
