When we hear the words Air
Force One, the first thing
that comes to most people’s
minds now a days is not
actually the aircraft carrying
the President of the United
States, a film in 1997
starring Harrison Ford or the
rap song by Nelly, but the
athletic shoes by Nike that we
all have loved through the
years… The Air Force 1 Sneakers or
simply AF1.
Yes it’s true that the
sneakers’ name was inspired
from the US President’s plane
but who would have thought
that it could possibly became
more popular? In 1982 a
designer by name of Bruce
Kilgore produced a shoe that
will later become synonymous
with the brand Nike.
Everywhere you go, everywhere
you look, it is so impossible
to even think that you
wouldn’t see anyone wearing a
pair of AF1s. It has
absolutely become a trend from
way back in the 1980’s and
still continues to be one day
after day.
Air Force shoes is still one
of the most in demand and
sought after shoe after almost
3 decades. Through the years
AF1 has kept its mystique and
stuck to its roots. There are
actually three different
styles for the AF1 the
low-cut, mid-top and high-top,
All of them bears the
trademark pewter medallion
with the engraving AF-1 on the
middle of the shoes. But
although the shoe has many
different variations, the
plain white low-cut has
remained the best seller.
The Air Force One shoes have
created a milestone to people
from all walks of life. It is
preferred by most basketball
athletes, inner-city youth,
even hip hop artists and
celebrities from all parts of
the world. Streetball players
are the biggest fan of the
Nike Air Forces being the
first basketball shoes to use
cushioning which is the Nike
Air Technology that made it
the best athletic shoes ever
developed.
Nike Air Force 1 really
started to attract the
public’s attention during the
mid 1980’s when Nike
contracted some of the most
talented basketball players at
the time. One basketball
player in particular will
change the footwear fashion
for as long as people are
walking; His name, Michael
Jordan. Michael Jordan wear
the very first basketball high
top AF-1. Until now collectors
from all over the world spend
a portion of their hard earned
money just to get a hold of
what is now known as the
JORDAN 1. What started as just
a plain AF-1 evolves in many
different styles. In a sense,
Nike AF-1 started the
collection fad.
Although the all white Nike
Air Force 1 low is the most
common to the people, the
kicks are available in
thousand of different colors
like brown, hot pink, yellow,
combination of white & black
Air Force One, grey, orange,
