Utilizing the Air Force 1 Low as a canvas, the partnership represents a major milestone for the “Doja” rapper, merging the UK’s drill culture with Nike’s most iconic basketball-turned-lifestyle silhouette. Dressed in a sleek Black, Optic Yellow and Racer Blue palette, the SYNA WORLD x Nike Air Force 1 Low prioritize a “roadman” aesthetic that leans into the monochromatic, high-contrast style central to Cench’s personal wardrobe.The collaboration is defined by its subtle yet intentional branding.

The color palette—consisting of deep black and racer blue overtones—is sharply contrasted by Opti-Yellow stitching and branding.

The rapper’s brand logo appears on the lateral heel, while a “#13” embroidery serves as a subtle nod to his frequent lyrical references and upbringing. Yellow accents continue onto the “Syna” branded tongue tags, rounding out a design that is as much a tribute to London’s current style as it is to heritage street fashion. While initial rumors suggested this might be a friends-and-family exclusive, the emergence of official studio imagery strongly suggests a retail release is on the horizon.Beyond the sneakers, the release is expected to be accompanied by a capsule of apparel, likely including the tracksuits that helped SYNA WORLD achieve viral status on social media. This collaboration follows a series of high-profile teasers and on-stage appearances by Central Cee, who has been instrumental in the recent resurgence of Nike’s presence within the UK music scene.
