About the release
The Air Force 1 x LeBron “Voltage Green” releases in the US on 27 February 2026 for $200. At the time of writing, there is no confirmed UK release date.
This collaboration reframes the classic Nike Air Force 1 through LeBron James’ Los Angeles connection, drawing direct inspiration from Hollywood green screen technology. It sits within a wider wave of Nike x LeBron releases and continues Nike’s push into bold, performance leaning lifestyle hybrids.
If you follow new Nike sneakers, this one stands out immediately. It is not a subtle colour update. It is a full design shift built around movement, light and identity.

The Air Force 1 x LeBron “Voltage Green” is confirmed to release via Nike SNKRS in the US on 27 February 2026 at a retail price of $200.
There is currently no official UK release date. Based on Nike’s pricing structure, UK retail would likely land between £180 and £190, but this has not been confirmed. We will update this page once UK availability is announced.
Design and details
The defining feature is the full lenticular upper. As you move, the surface shifts visually, mimicking the layered effect of green screen production used in film. It gives the shoe a constantly changing look rather than a static finish.
The glow in the dark outsole and Swoosh outline amplify that visual theme. In low light, the silhouette transforms again. Instead of the traditional AIR text on the midsole, Nike replaces it with a GOAT graphic, a direct nod to LeBron’s legacy.
Inside, the sockliner features a crown graphic rendered through a special effects lens. Additional crown details appear across the build, including the midsole structure itself, which takes on a subtle crown shape rather than standard AF1 tooling.
Comfort and performance updates
This is not a standard Air Force 1 underfoot. The shoe includes a drop in foam midsole paired with Zoom Air in the heel, making it more performance aligned than a traditional lifestyle AF1.
That setup provides firmer response and improved impact protection compared to regular AF1 cushioning, reinforcing that this pair sits between performance heritage and lifestyle design.

Why this LeBron Air Force 1 matters
The Air Force 1 has been reimagined countless times, but this version pushes further than a simple colour update. Between the lenticular material, glow sole and crown shaped tooling, it feels like a concept build rather than a minor variation.
It also reinforces LeBron’s cultural positioning in Los Angeles. The green screen inspiration is subtle in concept but bold in execution, making this one of the more experimental AF1 collaborations of recent years.
