Name: Nike Air Force 1 Low Retro PRM "NYC"Colorway: Safety Orange/Rush Blue-WhiteSKU: IV2705-819Retail Price: $130 USDRelease Date: Available NowWhere to Buy: NikeThe electric energy of New York basketball has taken over the city once again, and Nike is capitalizing on the moment in the most authentic way possible. To introduce its latest city-exclusive release, the Swoosh teamed up with Sidetalk NYC—the viral street interview platform responsible for cementing "Bing Bong" into the modern New York sports lexicon. The result is the surprise drop of the Nike Air Force 1 Low PRM "Knicks," a bold, limited-edition love letter to the city's unbreakable hoops culture.Unapologetically loud, the Air Force 1 Low "NYC" arrives in a striking two-tone colorway that immediately evokes the iconic orange and blue of Madison Square Garden's home team. The upper is completely dressed in a vibrant "Safety Orange" tumbled leather, providing a premium feel to the bright base. To break up the tonal look, deep "Rush Blue" accents strike the leather Swooshes, heel tabs, and tongue tags. A crisp white midsole rests atop a classic, court-ready gum rubber outsole, ensuring the sneaker remains grounded in traditional AF1 heritage.What truly sets this release apart, however, is the hyper-local branding. The standard Nike Air logos have been swapped out for bold "NYC" embroidery on both the heel and the tongue. A silver lace dubrae and a subtle mini-Swoosh embroidered near the toe box complete the premium design. To launch the shoe, Nike enlisted Sidetalk NYC's recognizable host, Luke Manley, to front the campaign, bridging the gap between global sportswear and grassroots, on-the-street fandom.For now, securing a pair of these vibrant kicks requires serious local connections. The Nike Air Force 1 Low "NYC" dropped as a surprise release over Mother's Day weekend exclusively at Nike's new SoHo location. With no wider online release currently announced, this orange and blue AF1 is already shaping up to be one of the most coveted, limited-edition New York exclusives of the year.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
