Loewe just unveiled its Fall/Winter 2025 collection at Paris Fashion Week on Monday. Departing from the traditional catwalk, the Spanish fashion house presented its upcoming range in a curated space in the city’s iconic Hotel de Maisons, as seen in the video below.

For the collection, Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson brought together what the brand calls a “scrapbook of ideas,” ranging from ready-to-wear garments to sneakers and accessories. One of the more interesting pieces spotted in the presentation is a white-on-white low-top sneaker that is clearly inspired by Nike’s iconic Air Force 1 Low.

The Loewe sneaker has proportions similar to Jacquemus’ Nike J Force 1 collab, and its side panels feature the brand’s “L” logo instead of the Nike Swoosh. The Loewe shoe is not a collaboration between Loewe and Nike—the designer brand is riffing on the Air Force 1 here rather than getting permission to remix it.

Sneaker customizer-turned-designer John Geiger famously created his own “GF-01” Air Force 1 lookalike sneaker, which incorporated a stylized “G” logo in place of the Swoosh. This led to Nike taking legal action against him for copying its trademarked design, which was later resolved.

Loewe is not the only designer brand to remake the Air Force 1—Celine had its own version, as does Japanese label Hender Scheme.
