The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Pink Foam” is a women’s exclusive that keeps finding new ways to stay relevant. The latest iteration dropped as part of the Summer 2026 lineup, and it brings a premium build that pushes the AF1 into slightly more refined territory without losing the street appeal that made the model iconic in the first place.
The SKU is IR0871-600. The official colorway is Pink Foam/Pearl Pink/Pink Foam. Retail is $125. It is a women’s exclusive release that hit Nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers. The release date was May 1, 2026, and pairs are still circulating at retail if you know where to look.
What separates this version from the dozens of pink AF1s that have released over the years is the material story. The upper uses layered pink leather across the toe, side panels, and eyestays. A lighter Pearl Pink hits the Swoosh, creating a tonal contrast that is subtle but effective. The midsole is done in an off-white tint rather than pure white, which softens the entire look and gives it a more vintage feel.
The details are where this shoe elevates itself above a basic colorway. Satin-style Pink Foam laces replace the standard flat laces. That small swap changes the entire character of the shoe. Satin laces catch light differently. They feel different between your fingers when you tie them. It is the kind of detail that suggests someone on the design team actually cared about making this shoe feel special rather than just slapping pink on a standard AF1 and calling it a day.
The tongue label is a textured woven detail, not the usual printed label. And the insoles feature a custom decorative framed Nike graphic that you only see when you take the shoe off. These are the kind of touches that separate a premium release from a general colorway. You are paying $125 for a shoe that has been thought through.
There is also a “Pinksicle” version of the Pink Foam AF1 that released around the same time frame, with the style code IR1974-663. That version uses a Pearl Pink leather base with a washed Pink Foam textile on the mudguard, heel, and collar, plus a glossy Pinksicle Swoosh. The two shoes share a color family but have completely different personalities. The Pinksicle is more playful and casual. The Pink Foam PRM is more refined and polished.
I think the Pink Foam PRM works because it commits to the color without overdoing it. Every element is pink, but the tonal variation between the Pink Foam body and the Pearl Pink Swoosh creates enough separation to keep the shoe from looking like a solid block of color. The off-white midsole breaks things up just enough. It is monochromatic done right.
The Air Force 1 Low has been one of Nike’s most consistent canvases for women’s exclusive releases. The model works in almost any color because the silhouette itself is clean and simple. You can go bold, you can go subtle, you can go premium, and the AF1 handles it all. The Pink Foam PRM is on the premium end of that spectrum.
At $125, this is one of the better value plays in women’s sneaker releases for 2026. You get layered leather, satin laces, custom insoles, and a woven tongue label for the same price as a basic AF1 colorway. The premium treatment without the premium price jump is appreciated.
The fit is standard AF1. True to size for most people. If you have wide feet, you might want to go up half a size since the layered leather upper is slightly less forgiving than a single-layer build. But for most wearers, your normal AF1 size will work.
The Pink Foam colorway is perfect for spring and summer. It pairs with light denim, white shorts, sundresses, really anything in the warm-weather rotation. But the premium materials also mean you can dress these up a little. They would not look out of place with a nice outfit at a summer party. That versatility is what makes the AF1 such a reliable shoe.
If you missed the initial May 1 drop, do not stress. The Pink Foam AF1 PRM is the kind of release that lingers at retail because the colorway is specific enough that it does not sell through instantly. Check Nike.com, and check the usual suspects for restocks. Your size is probably still out there.
The AF1 Low “Pink Foam” PRM is proof that Nike can still make the Air Force 1 feel fresh. It is not a new silhouette. It is not a new technology. It is just a well-executed colorway with premium materials and thoughtful details. Sometimes that is enough. Sometimes that is everything.
