The Nike Air Force 1 “Linen” is Now Actually Made of Linen

The Nike Air Force 1 “Linen” is probably one of the greatest Air Force 1s of all-time. First released back in 2001, the American sportswear company originally made this exclusively for Japan. Over two decades later in 2024, it got its first worldwide release. Now, it’s making a comeback once again, but this time, with a huge difference.

You see, in the 24 years that the “Linen” has been around, the upper has always been crafted from a light tan leather. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, but for 2025’s version, the “Linen” is made of actual, well, linen. It doesn’t change the sneaker’s iconic aesthetic at all, but it makes it a little more lightweight and a lot more summer-friendly.

But it’s not all change though, as the original pink Swooshes make a comeback. You’ll also find “Nike” branding that’s embroidered on the tongue tag and heel badge, and a stainless steel dubrae, just like the OG from ’01. All of this then rests on top of a crisp white Air midsole that’s as comfortable as it gets.

With its breathable materials and timeless appeal, the Nike Air Force 1 “Linen Canvas” feels right at home for the warmer months ahead. Dropping on March 20th, let us know if you’ll be going for this, and be sure to keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to secure your size!
