Air Force 1 not only marks the US President's plane, but also represents some 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 with Nike Air technology
The Nike AF1 was launched in 1982 under the Air in a Box banner - originally aimed primarily at basketball. The slogan highlighted 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'll find the Nike Air Force 1 in variations like the '07 or with React technology. There are low (low), high (high) or mid (mid) models. So if you're wondering whether these sneakers are more for men or women, the answer is clear - it's really hard to find a more unisex shoe.
What to pair the Nike AF1 with?
The Nike Air Force 1s are most commonly available in white and black, which makes them easy to pair with sweatpants, jeans, or other types of brightly colored pants.
