LEGENDARY STYLE, REFINED The legend lives on in the Nike Air Force 1 Men's Shoe, a low-cut take on the iconic AF-1 blending classic court style and striking color contrast. Durable The leather upper includes strategically placed overlays for added premium durability, fit and support. Perforations enhance ventilation to help keep feet dry and comfortable. Detailed The low-cut silhouette creates a low-to-the-ground feel and classic look. This version of the Nike Air Force 1 features crisp leather edges for a cleaner, more streamlined silhouette and finer detailing. Classic A metal "AF-1 '82" tag on the laces honors the shoe's debut. Comfortable The durable foam midsole includes a full-length Nike Air unit for lightweight cushioning and impact protection. Origins Transcending foot coverage since 1982, this once hoops shoe was named after Air Force One-the aircraft that carries the U. S. President. It was the first basketball shoe to house Nike Air, revolutionizing the game for players like Moses Malone and Charles Barkley while rapidly gaining traction around the world, from the hardwood to the blacktop to the core of hip-hop culture. Today the Air Force 1 stays true to its roots with soft, springy cushioning and a massive midsole, but the Nike Air technology takes a backseat to the shoe's status as an icon.
