PSA: No ponies were harmed in the making of these models. Faux pony hair is an engineered textile created from recycled polyester and blended fibres. Nike's wizards use their powers to turn the synthetic hairs into a finish which imitates the flowing nap and matte sheen of real equine hide, while delivering advantages like durability, easier maintenance, and, y'know – no dead ponies.

The contrasts in orientation between the base, overlays and Swoosh give a real sense of that 'night mare' movement, as their soft shine hits differently from various angles. The model's classic features of Air cushioning, perforated toe box and branded dubrae are all in place.

The Nike Nike Air Force 1 Low 'Black Pony Hair' will retail for $135 and is slated to exit Nike's webstore stable in Summer 2025.
