Nike’s massively popular Air Force 1 sneaker is getting a delicious makeover via a collaboration with Nobu Matsuhisa of the world-renowned Nobu restaurant.
The global brands are releasing a limited-edition sneaker dubbed the Sushi Force 1, co-designed by Chris Stamp of Stampd clothing.
In the design, the beloved classic “Triple White” Air Force 1 serves as a canvas and is adorned with special signage that references the chef and Beverly Hills, one of the restaurant’s most popular outlets.
The sneaker’s heels and tongue tags sport the “Beverly Hills Sushi Club” logo while the shoelaces are printed with “SF-1”, “Stampd” and “Matsuhisa.”

The Sushi Force 1 will be sold for $250 exclusively at Sushi Club, with the official launch date still yet to be announced.
In an Instagram post, Stamp unveiled the collaboration with the caption: “Honored to have worked together with @Nike and @therealnobu to create a limited amount of ‘SF-1s’. With the AF1 being my favorite shoe of all time and a true staple of Los Angeles, much like the menu at Matsuhisa, it was only right to add this one to the uniform.”
