The Nike Air Force 1 Jewel “Liberty” is a new WNBA team exclusive from Nike, built for the New York Liberty as the franchise heads toward the 2026 playoffs. The shoe pairs the vintage ’82 style Air Force 1 Jewel construction with the team’s mint green identity, and it hit the Liberty’s own team store in Brooklyn on September 21, 2026.
New York basketball has leaned heavily on sneaker collaborations this year, and the Liberty are using this release to mark a playoff push two years removed from the franchise’s first championship. The WNBA regular season closes on September 24th, giving the club a short runway before postseason play begins. Nike has built out a deep Air Force 1 roster in 2026, and shoppers tracking every upcoming drop can check JustFreshKicks’ release dates hub for what’s coming next.
The Nike Air Force 1 Jewel Liberty Design
Nike built the shoe on the Air Force 1 Jewel, the ’82 style variant known for its jewel Swoosh detail, and dressed the entire upper in the Liberty’s mint shade, extending from the suede base through the tongue tag and midsole. A torch design tied to the Statue of Liberty is etched into the heel, echoing a matching torch mark placed on the insole alongside a white and teal checkered pattern. The heel tab carries a white embroidered WNBA logo running through the Nike Air branding, and the lace dubrae add another layer of Liberty team identity.
Why Is the Nike Air Force 1 Jewel Liberty Mint Green?
The mint shade is pulled from the Statue of Liberty’s signature color, which the New York Liberty use as their franchise hue.
