Lil Yachty brought a brand new Nike project to ComplexCon, and it came with a tiny supply. The Concrete Boys x Nike Air Force 1 Mid in yellow and black was also limited to 1,000 pairs.
It was sold only at Yachty's Pawn Shop booth at the show. If you weren't in Los Angeles, you were out of luck. Apparent, some of the attendees even waited hours to get a pair.
The design is bold but still easy to read. Both pairs use a croc-embossed upper, and black piping outlines the panels. The yellow really stands out against the black details.
Yachty also swapped the usual Nike Air branding on the heel for the Concrete Boys logo. On the tongue, the label reads "Just Us."
There's a second pair too, but almost nobody will ever see it in person. The pink and black version has only two pairs, and both belong to Yachty.
As of now, Nike hasn't announced a wider release. Earlier rumors pointed to a Concrete Boys Air Force 1 Mid for Holiday 2026, but nothing confirms whether this pair will return. For now, the yellow pair belongs to the 1,000 people who made it to the booth.
Lil Yachty x Nike Air Force 1 Mid “Yellow”
The Air Force 1 Mid is a new move for Yachty. Most of his past Nike work has been built around the Air Force 1 Low. Moving to the mid shows how comfortable he is with the brand.
He's been teasing this shoe for months and rumors about a Concrete Boys Mid started in the spring, and he's been seen in several different sample pairs. ComplexCon finally gave us a retail version.
Concrete Boys is Yachty's own crew, and Nike has let him put that identity front and center. Replacing the Nike Air logo with the group's mark is a big deal.
Conventions make these exclusives feel special for some reason. The pairs are tied to a moment, and only a few people got to be there. Overall with only 1,000 pairs, people will be watching the resale market closely.
