What Is the Nike Air Force 1?

The Nike Air Force 1 is a basketball shoe designed by Bruce Kilgore and introduced in 1982. It was the first basketball shoe to carry Nike Air cushioning, built into a chunky sole that still defines its profile today. The name is a nod to Air Force One, the plane that carries the President of the United States.

The model comes in Low, Mid and High cuts. The Low is the one most people picture: a perforated toe, a Swoosh across each side and a thick, flat sole you can recognise from across the street. Nike's everyday Low carries the name Air Force 1 '07, and the all-white version is the pair most people have in mind when they talk about the shoe.

The History of the Nike Air Force 1

The Air Force 1 nearly did not last. In 1984, only two years after launch, it was facing the chopping block. Baltimore changed that. Three Baltimore retailers convinced Nike to keep the shoe alive with store-exclusive colourways.

That rescue gave the Air Force 1 its rhythm: a constant base model, refreshed through limited colourways and partner projects rather than a new number every year. The shape stays familiar while the colours, materials and partners keep changing.

Nike Air Force 1 Culture

The shoe found its first home on city streets. In Harlem the white Low was so common that it earned the nickname Uptowns, and New York has kept it close ever since. Because the base shoe never changes, the Air Force 1 also became a blank canvas: streetwear labels, artists, designers and musicians have all used it to tell their own story, often with little more than a new material, a printed lace or a logo at the heel. For one recent example, read our Air Force 1 Pegasus Pack Phantom story.
