Cracked Leather Hits the Air Force 1

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Cracked Leather “Menta” brings a fresh material story to one of Nike’s most recognizable silhouettes. Instead of going with a standard smooth leather setup, this pair uses a glossy cracked finish across the overlays, Swoosh, heel and eyestay panels.

The colorway keeps things clean with a Menta and White combination. White leather fills the base, while the bright green cracked leather panels give the sneaker its main identity. A matching green outsole and green Air branding on the midsole complete the look, while white laces and a white midsole keep the design easy to wear.

Part of a Two-Colorway Pack

The “Menta” pair is expected to release as part of a wider Nike Air Force 1 Low Cracked Leather pack. A Black/White colorway is also expected to drop alongside it, giving the pack two very classic options.

The green version is definitely the louder of the two. It still follows traditional Air Force 1 color blocking, but the cracked patent-style finish makes it stand out immediately. The texture gives the shoe a vintage, slightly broken-in look without making it feel overly distressed.

A Strong AF1 Release for September

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Cracked Leather “Menta” is currently expected to release in September 2026. There is no exact date yet, but the pair is listed with a retail price of $140 and the style code JA0248-001.

That price feels reasonable for a material-focused Air Force 1 release. Nike has been pushing more special AF1 pairs recently, and this one has a good mix of clean color blocking, recognizable shape and a finish that actually adds something to the design.

Why the “Menta” Pair Works

Air Force 1 releases can sometimes feel too simple, but the “Menta” pair has enough detail to stand out. The green cracked leather gives the shoe a more premium and eye-catching feel, while the white base keeps it from becoming too much.

Compared to the Black/White pair, this one feels more seasonal and more interesting visually. It should appeal to AF1 collectors, fans of early-2000s-style materials and anyone looking for a clean green sneaker that still has a special twist.
