First Look at the Scarr's Pizza x Nike Air Force 1 Low in Black
Summary
Scarr's PizzaandNikefirst joined forces for an ultra-limitedAir Force 1 Lowin 2019, and now they're back for a second slice: Scarr's Pizza founder Scarr Pimentel was spotted in an all-black iteration of the collab over the weekend. Besides switching out the white leather base of the inaugural collab for a crisp black leather build, a good portion of the details remain unchanged as there's still a dual-layered Swoosh, an embroidered logo hit on the lateral heel, the pizzeria's phone number on the lateral forefoot, a tri-colored Air hit on the midsole, and a gum outsole.
But keen-eyed observers will note a few changes as well, including an updated address detail on the tongue — Scarr's relocated from 22 Orchard to 35 Orchard in 2023 — an altered, tonal New York City flag on the heel tab that's done up in patent leather, and a darker shade of gum used on the aforementioned outsole.
There's currently no word on if this style will see any sort of retail release, but if it follows the model set by the original colorway, it'll be an ultra-limited friends and family colorway. The first Scarr's Pizza x Nike Air Force 1 low collab was only produced in a run of 48 pairs, one of whichsold for a staggering $121,649at a Sotheby's auction in 2021. Scarr's has only deepened its relationship with Nike andJordan Brandsince then as well, including hosting an early launch of theAir Jordan 3 'Black Cement'in November 2024 that Jordan Brand athlete and New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr attended. Rumors have long been circulating about the original collaboration potentially seeing amass-market release in 2025, but this has yet to be confirmed.
