Lil’ Yachty’s Latest Nike “Us” Force 1 Collab Drops this Week

Finally turning his lifelong passion into reality, rapper and well-known footwear enthusiast Lil’ Yachty has a new Air Force 1 collaboration releasing this week.

Despite having a healthy working relationship with Nike behind the scenes, Lil’ Yachty’s first taste of official Swoosh collaboration came in December 2024, when the artist’s “Concrete Boys” Air Force 1 was saved from “friends and family hell” and finally released to the public, unsurprisingly selling out immediately in the process.
Yachty will once again lend the moniker of his very own record label to Nike’s iconic Air Force 1, this time showcasing a stark contrast in the colourway department when compared to his previous release, calling back to y2k vibrancy with a patent leather “Lucky Green” palette that also includes shades of red and yellow.
Akin to the initial Concrete Boys Air Force 1 release, Yachty features his record label’s logo on the outer heel, with more honorary branding at the rear tab and “IT’S US” on the tongue tag and insole.

Yachty also convinced Nike to change the name of one of its most recognisable silhouettes, which in this instance, will release as the “Us Force 1” - again referencing Yachty’s debut Concrete Boys album of the same name.

Lil’ Yachty's latest Concrete Boys x Nike Us Force 1 will release on May 22 via SNKRS and at select retailers for $130.
