About Nike Air Force 1:
Created by legendary Nike designer Bruce Kilgore, the Nike Air Force 1 was first released in 1982. They were named after the airplane that the President of the United States travels in (the Air Force One) and were the first Nike shoe that featured “Air” technology. Although Air Force 1 shoes are currently available in low, mid, and high models they were originally only available in high and low. Both models featured a toebox absent of perforated holes and had mesh side panels. Also, the Air Force 1 High model featured a innovative strap that aimed to prevent ankle injuries while playing basketball.
Today, the Air Force 1 has grown to be one of the most recognizable sneakers ever created. Nike has released them in over a thousand different colorways and has collaborated with many companies, artists, and athletes to produce limited Air Force Ones that are highly sought after. Yet, with all of the unique colors, patterns, and custom Air Force 1 designs the “black on black” and “white on white” models are still the most popular. The are a mainstay in any wardrobe and are a favorite among sneaker collectors and the general public alike.

Nike Air Force One Mid '07
Anniversary edition of the classic Air Force 1.
Many shoeheads consider the Air Force One to be the perfect shoe and they may be correct considering this line has survived 25 years and remained one of the most popular Nike styles, bringing in approximately 1 billion a year. For the 25th anniversary, Nike has actually improved on the perfect shoe to make it the ultimate. A number of upgrades went into the Nike Air Force One '07.Another identifying characteristic of an Air Force 1 shoe is a small, removable medallion that is secured to the bottom of the laces but has holes on either side so it can be removed by sliding it off of the shoe lace.Nike Air Force 1s were originally considered the favored shoe of inner-city youth, then hip hop artists and streetball players. Rapper Nelly and his group, St. Lunatics, collaborated on a 2002 single entitled "Air Force Ones" about the shoes. As a performance shoe, the AF1 is still used for street play as well as for professional play. NBA players Jerry Stackhouse (who now wears Adidas) and Rasheed Wallace have worn AF1s on court.
