Named after the President of America’s private plane, this shoe offered both protection and flight. Originally arriving in either a low or high-top option, the latter was fitted with a strap up top to provide a secure fit and prevent any ankle injuries during wear. This defining silhouette was also the first Nike basketball trainer to offer a full-length Air-injected sole unit – a technology that would continue to innovate its own and Jordan trainers. Originally, the AF1 was inspired by hiking shoes, but it eventually opted for a functional, basketball-ready guise. Bruce Kilgore’s original design first took flight in 1982, and it isn’t running out of fuel anytime soon.
Simply put, the Nike Air Force 1 is by far one of the Beaverton brand’s most lauded silhouettes.
