This Nike Air Force 1 Low Pack Splits Patent Leather and Suede in “Triple Black” and “University Red”

Name: Nike Air Force 1 Low “Patent Suede” Colorway: University Red/Metallic Silver-Tough Red, Black/Metallic Silver-Anthracite SKU: IV5103-001, IV5103-600 MSRP: $115 USD Release Date: July 1 Where to Buy: Nike

Nike‘s Air Force 1 Low gets a women’s exclusive update with the “Patent Suede” pack, splitting its upper between glossy patent leather and softer suede across two monochrome colorways.

Construction is where this pack earns its name. Rather than running a single material across the full upper, Nike divides the build between glossy patent leather on the toe box and quarter panels and a softer suede or nubuck across the overlays. The split creates two distinct surface textures on a single shoe, with the patent sections catching light differently than the matte panels around them.

Each pair commits to one color rather than mixing tones, with “Triple Black” running the patent and suede treatment through a single dark palette and “University Red” applying the same construction in a brighter monochrome finish. Keeping the colorway singular puts the focus squarely on the material contrast itself rather than competing for attention with a multi-color scheme.

The base shape underneath stays untouched. Nike keeps the classic Air Force 1 Low silhouette fully intact, meaning the patent and suede pairing functions as a surface-level update rather than a structural one. The result is a shoe that reads as more elevated through finish alone, without altering the proportions or shape that define the model.
