The Nike Air Force 1: Coveted and desired, for playing basketball on the streets and for business meetings in executive suites, to break necks and to protect ankles. Arguably one of the most influential and most popular sneakers ever created. Created by legendary designer Bruce Kilgore, the Nike Air Force 1 made it's way into sneaker history in 1982.

 Originally, the Nike Air Force 1 was only offered in two silhouettes: the more sought after Nike Air Force 1 Hi and the now more common Nike Air Force 1 Low. The Nike Air Force 1, named after the United States personal Presidential Plane "Air Force One", offered some groundbreaking design details. To increase longevity of the shoe, no expense was saved in the development of the Nike Air Force 1.

 The Nike Air Force 1 sported a revolutionary ½ inch thick insole, new rubber chemistry was researched, a three-plate mold to reinforce the upper material was used and the proprioceptus belt on the ankle for support. And who can forget the "AIR" scribed on the mid-sole? That's right! AIR in a Nike basketball shoe. Unlike it's predecessors, (Nike Blazer, Nike Bruin, Nike All Court) the Nike Air Force 1 had AIR not only in the name of the shoe, but in the insole; revolutionary to the sneaker world forever.

 From the 1982 introduction, the Nike Air Force 1 took nearly 10 years off reintroducing itself again in 1991. Since the reintroduction of the Nike Air Force 1, we have seen the shoe in all its glory. The Nike Air Force 1 Mid was introduced and moving into the 2000's we see the Nike Air Force 1 in all it's splendor: Nike Air Force 1 Premium, Nike Air Force 1 Supreme, Nike Air Force 1 QS, Nike Air Force 1 LS and many, many more.

 We have seen the Nike Air Force 1 celebrate places like Puerto Rico, West Indies, Chi-Town (Chicago), Los Angeles and NYC. We have seen the Nike Air Force 1 celebrate holidays like Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter and Halloween. We have seen the Nike Air Force 1 pay homage and tribute to the original basketball players who wore the shoe in the 80's by having today's hoop stars wear the shoes for the 25th anniversary. With the Nike Air Force 1 since inception being offered in over 1,000 color ways, there is one Nike Air Force 1 for all and if you can't decide what color, who can resist the all white or "white on white" Nike Air Force 1's? THE shoe. Worn on the court by legends like Michael Cooper, Moses Malone, Bobby Jones, and Rasheed Wallace. Rapped about by numerous hip-hop artists like Jay-Z, Nelly and Rick Ross. Loved by all. The Nike Air Force 1.
