The “University Red” pair opened the rollout on September 12, 2026, when Victor Victor cancelled its planned in-person drop in Harlem that morning and moved the drop online at victorvictor.com instead, with the run capped at 646 pairs. The rest of the pack is landing one city at a time through December, and every date is in the colorway guide below.
ORIGINAL STORY:
Steven Victor’s eponymous record label, Victor Victor, is preparing for their most ambitious Nike project yet. Featuring the Air Force 1, the model will come in six colors, including the red style shown here.
Victor Victor is a multi-faceted media company, largely centered around a record label. The label was founded by Steven Victor in 2016, who has bounced around various other music production companies with titles including COO and vice president of A&R at big names like GOOD Music, Def Jam, and Universal Music Group. The eponymous media company managed the late Pop Smoke, and currently represents big names like Ski Mask theSlump God and Nigo. Their first collab with Nike came in 2024, adding their Japanese Tosa fighting dog logo to the heel of a clean white Air Force 1.
Now, a string of new pairs are lined up for the remainder of 2026, retaining the simple color blocking of the original, but in new colors reminiscent of the Be True to Your School series from 1985. Recently the “University Red” pair surfaced in official images from Nike, giving us our best look yet at the expansive project, featuring the silhouette’s fan-favorite 2001 shape. While the color blocking and details do not change from color to color, these photos give us a closer look at the shoe’s outsoles, which add some extra details to the design. Each pair features Victor Victor branding running from toe to heel, along with a set of lines in red, blue, green, and yellow, seemingly representing most of the colors from the forthcoming pack.

All Victor Victor Air Force 1 Colorways
Steven Victor matched each of the six colors to a Ferrari in his own garage, which explains the racing stripes and “VICTOR VICTOR RACING” lettering on the outsoles. Here is where every pair stands as of October 7, 2026, with upcoming dates taken from the schedule reported on September 28:
- “University Red”: Released September 12 online at victorvictor.com, limited to 646 pairs.
- “Yellow Zest”: Victor Wembanyama wore the Victor Victor Air Force 1 “Yellow Zest” early, and it was scheduled for ComplexCon on October 3. House of Heat reported a blue pair at Victor Victor’s booth instead, so the yellow release is unconfirmed.
- Blue: House of Heat reported that a blue pair inspired by French Racing Blue dropped at Victor Victor’s Booth I5 in the Los Angeles Convention Center on October 3 (see our Victor Victor Air Force 1 “Blue” ComplexCon report), and a blue release is also scheduled for New York on October 10.
- Green: Scheduled for October 17 in Detroit.
- “Court Purple”: LeBron James debuted the Victor Victor Air Force 1 “Court Purple” at Fanatics Fest NYC in July, and it is scheduled for October 24 in Tokyo.
- Black: Wembanyama wore a black Victor Victor Air Force 1 sample before Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals in May, and a black pair is scheduled for December 5 in Miami around Art Basel.
Every scheduled pair is listed at $150, and each city stop is an in-person event rather than a wide SNKRS launch. Our Victor Victor Air Force 1 ’01 release dates page tracks each drop as it happens.
