Nike Gives the Women’s Air Force 1 ’07 Suede a Rose Finish

A rose suede upper, a sole dyed to match and a €130 price in Europe. The IQ0136-600 is already listed in Madrid, while Japan is still waiting on a date.

The color does most of the talking. Nike’s newest women’s Air Force 1 ’07 comes in a rose-toned suede upper, and the sole unit underneath has been colored to match, so the shoe reads as one tone from almost any angle. The colorway is listed as Rust Pink/Particle Rose under style code IQ0136-600, and the contrast that usually defines an Air Force 1 in its classic form, white rubber set against a colored upper, is gone.

Nike has not yet put this colorway on its own storefronts, though the Japan notice frames it as the newest addition to the Air Force 1 Low lineup. The pair has nonetheless surfaced at a European retailer, and a Japan market release notice published this week lists it as a 2026 rel, with Japanese timing still unconfirmed. It is a women’s model, marked by the W at the front of the name in the Japan notice, though the size run on the European listing stretches all the way to EU 44.5.

Signal. What happened: A women’s Air Force 1 ’07 Suede in Rust Pink/Particle Rose has surfaced at retail in Europe, and a Japan market release notice lists it for 2026 with no Japanese date yet. Exact object: Nike W Air Force 1 ’07 Low “Rust Pink/Particle Rose”, catalogued by Nike’s model family as the Air Force 1 ’07 Suede, style code IQ0136-600, suede upper with a tonal sole, €130. When and where: 2026; a Madrid retailer lists it at €129.99 with every size currently unavailable, while the Japanese release date and yen price have not been announced. Source: A Japan market release notice, a European retailer’s product listing, and Nike’s own product page for the IQ0136 model. Why it matters: It adds a third known colorway to Nike’s tonal suede women’s AF1 line and moves Rust Pink, a shade Nike used on a leather AF1 Low this spring, onto suede. Earlier: Air Force 1 coverage has leaned toward collide, including the Kobe x Nike AF1 Dodgers Protro.

IQ0136 is the style code Nike uses for the Air Force 1 ’07 Suede in women’s sizing. On Nike’s own product page for the model, the brand sums the idea up in one line: a suede upper paired with a matching outsole for a monochromatic look. Two colorways are live there now, Sail/Light Bone and a Cacao Wow pair with Team Green, Mint Foam and Soft Pearl accents. Rust Pink/Particle Rose adds a third known colorway to the family.

The build follows the familiar ’07 template. Nike notes that the suede softens and picks up vintage character with wear, the toe box is perforated for breathability, the collar is padded, there is a foam midsole with a Nike Air unit for cushioning, and the rubber outsole keeps the classic pivot circles. The ’07 in the name dates to 2007, when Nike updated the low-top for the shoe’s 25th anniversary, a quarter century after Bruce Kilgore designed the original in 1982 as the first basketball shoe to use Nike Air. Nike discontinued that original in 1984, and by the brand’s own telling the shoe only came into its own in the 1990s, when hip-hop culture carried it from the court to the street. By Nike’s count, the line has since run to more than 2,000 iterations, and the IQ0136 model is sold in women’s US sizes 5 to 12.

One detail needs care. The Japan rel notice describes the Swoosh and heel patch as leather, while Nike’s product details for the IQ0136 model list a synthetic leather Swoosh. Until Nike publishes a page for this specific colorway, its own model description is the better guide, and the heel patch material is not specified there.

Rust Pink is a recurring shade in Nike’s women’s palette rather than a one-off. In 2021 it appeared as the accent color on a white leather Air Force 1 ’07 Essential, covering the Swoosh, heel tab and tongue label of a pair that retailed at $110 that April.

Earlier this year Nike brought it back on a Rust Pink/Summit White Air Force 1 Low (IQ0360-685), a $125 March release that set smooth Rust Pink panels against grainy Summit White tumbled leather, carried the pink into the interior lining and finished the look with metallic bronze accents. That shoe used white as the frame for the pink.

The suede IQ0136-600 takes the opposite route. Instead of setting the pink against white, it drops the white altogether and pairs Rust Pink with Particle Rose, another of Nike’s rose shades, across the upper and sole. Particle Rose is already in circulation on the women’s side this year, appearing in a Metallic Silver/Pencil Point colorway of the Air Force 1 ’07 SEon Nike’s US store. Where exactly the Particle Rose tone sits on the shoe has not been spelled out in any listing so far, and close-up product photo should settle it once Nike publishes its own page.

Pricing in Europe is settled. The Japan rel notice gives €130, and Noirfonce, a Madrid sneaker store on Calle Fortuny that describes itself as an authorized retailer, lists the pair at €129.99 under the shortened nickname “Rust Pink” and files it under Nike Sportswear, the brand’s lifestyle category. Every size from EU 36 to 44.5 currently shows as unavailable there, and the listing does not say whether that reflects a pair that has already sold through or one still waiting on stock. The same store carries the Cacao Wow pair from the IQ0136 family at an identical €129.99.

For comparison, Nike’s Australian store sells the same model at AU$200 in its other two colorways. No yen price has been published, and the Japan rel notice states plainly that a domestic release date is not yet known. Nike has also yet to list the Rust Pink/Particle Rose colorway on any of its own storefronts, leaving IQ0136-600 priced and listed in Europe and still undated in Japan.
