Air Force 1 not only marks the plane of the American president, but also represents one of the most iconic sneakers ever. The leather upper, rugged midsole, and first application of Nike Air technology make the Nike Air Force not only a major breakthrough in footwear, but for many, a gateway into the world of sneaker culture.
Nike Air Force 1 - the first sneaker to feature Nike Air technology
The Nike AF1 was launched in 1982 under the Air in a Box banner - originally aimed primarily at basketball. The slogan emphasized the revolutionary technology that provided an unprecedentedly comfortable walking sensation. Its success is evidenced by the fact that nearly four decades after its introduction, these sneakers are synonymous with comfort for many.
In Queens, you can find the Nike Air Force 1 in variations like the '07 or with React technology. Low, high or mid models are available. So if you're wondering whether these sneakers are more for men or women, the answer is clear - finding a more unisex shoe is really difficult.
What to pair the Nike AF1 with?
Nike Air Force 1 are most commonly available in white and black, which makes them easy to combine with sweatpants, jeans or other types of brightly coloured trousers.
