Nike Air Force 1

Nike Air Force 1 runners are an enduring staple of the Swoosh line-up, continuing to be fashionable decades after their introduction in 1982. Designed by Bruce Kilgore, these trainers were the first of their kind to feature the brand’s signature Air cushioning technology, which helped in making the shoes not only stylish, but also comfortable. Though Air Force 1s (also known as AF1s) were intended to be used on the basketball court, where they were endorsed by many prominent NBA stars, the debut of the low edition, a counterpart to the original high top, catapulted them into the mainstream. Sneakerheads around the world were—and still are—mesmerised by the AF1’s timeless design, which is today available in dozens of colours, including classic black and white.
