2026 Sneaker Collection:
The VISION
2026 Artist: Nicole Jarecz
Introducing THE VISION, a limited-edition Nike Air Force 1 collection brought to life by fashion illustrator Nicole Jarecz. Her striking design intertwined with the sneaker’s swoosh and seam architecture, transforms the shoe into a study of focus, presence, and vision.
In fashion and illustration, THE VISION represents power and presence. In business, it’s foresight. In construction, it’s the ability to see what doesn’t yet exist. Bold from afar and intricate up close, the design mirrors the craft of turning vision into reality.
This sneaker is a tribute to the shared perspective of designers, builders, and construction partners who bring projects to life and to THE VISION that sees every detail, every opportunity, and every possibility before it’s ever built.
