Instant Skateboards is scheduled to release a second Nike SB Air Force 1 on October 31, this time without the skate shop’s logo on the shoe. The release is described as exclusive to overseas markets; pricing, quantities and any wider availability have not been specified.
Tokyo skate shop Instant Skateboards is set to release a second collaborative Nike SB Air Force 1 on October 31, following a limited black-and-blue version that arrived on October 9. The upcoming shoe keeps a classic color scheme but leaves off Instant branding, with the release described by Highsnobiety as exclusive to overseas markets.
The first Instant collaboration came in black suede with royal-blue Swooshes and special branding. Highsnobiety reported that it launched in a limited run on October 9. The report does not provide a production total or retail price, and describes the edition as already having sold through.
The follow-up takes a different approach: it uses a classic color scheme and omits Instant logos from the shoe. The collaboration will still include branded extras, according to Highsnobiety: polo shirts, an Instant lace dubrae—a decorative metal lace accessory—and stickers described as secret. The report does not specify whether those items are bundled with every pair or sold separately.
Highsnobiety said the second shoe would release exclusively overseas on October 31, a description that suggests no U.S. launch at the time of publication. It did not identify specific stores or countries, nor give purchase details. The article also pointed to other Nike SB Air Force 1 collaborations in a broader “City Pack,” including pairs associated with Philadelphia skate shop Nocturnal, Fly Streetwear and Ben-G.
A Two-Part Release for Instant Fans
The two releases give the collaboration distinct identities: the first makes Instant’s branding and black-and-blue design central, while the next offers a more restrained version with the shop’s identity carried through accessories instead. That may appeal to buyers who want the classic shoe treatment without visible collaboration marks, although the source does not report consumer response or sales figures for either edition.
For skaters and sneaker buyers, the most immediate practical issue is where the October 31 pair will be available. Highsnobiety characterizes the launch as overseas-only, which could limit access for U.S. customers. Without named retailers, confirmed territories or a price, shoppers cannot yet determine whether the shoe will be available through a particular shop or online channel.
The release also places Instant’s pair alongside other skate-shop collaborations tied to the Air Force 1. These projects connect a widely recognized Nike silhouette with local skate retailers, but the available report does not establish how the collaborations are organized or whether every pair is part of a formally coordinated release program.

From the October 9 Edition
Instant Skateboards is a Tokyo skate shop, and its Nike collaboration is presented as a skate-engineered Air Force 1. The source report focuses on the two Instant versions rather than detailing changes to the shoe’s construction. It does not list technical specifications, materials beyond the first edition’s suede upper, or performance testing.
The October 9 model had a conspicuous palette: black suede, royal-blue Swooshes and Instant branding. Highsnobiety compared its colors to the black-and-blue “Royal” look associated with Air Jordan 1s. The comparison describes the appearance; it does not mean the shoe is an Air Jordan product or establish a formal connection between the designs.
Highsnobiety also noted upcoming Nike SB Air Force 1 projects associated with Nocturnal in Philadelphia, Fly Streetwear and Ben-G. It said Nocturnal’s pair was expected soon, but gave no launch date. Those mentions offer limited evidence of other collaborations around the silhouette; they do not confirm that all will share the same release schedule, availability or design approach.
““Another day, another Nike SB x Air Force 1 for another city.””
— Highsnobiety, in its report on the release
Retail and Release Details Pending
The available report does not state the price, quantity, participating retailers or specific countries where the October 31 shoe will be sold. It also does not explain whether “exclusively overseas” means Japan only, a wider set of markets outside the United States, or a particular regional distribution plan.
It remains unclear whether the polo shirts, lace dubrae and stickers will come with the shoes, be offered as separate products, or be limited to selected purchases. No information is provided about a restock, a later U.S. release or online access for buyers outside the stated overseas market. The claims about the release and its schedule are attributed to Highsnobiety’s report; the source material includes no separate statement from Nike or Instant confirming those details.
Watch for October 31 Availability
The next reported milestone is the October 31 release. Buyers will need retailer announcements or updates from Instant and Nike to learn the final price, stockists, market coverage and how the accompanying merchandise will be distributed. The source gives no confirmed date for Nocturnal’s Nike SB Air Force 1, and no further schedule for the other collaborations it mentions.
