From Basketball Courts to Street Style: The Legacy of Nike Air Force 1
The USA presidential aircraft inspired the design of the Nike Air Force 1. This iconic shoe was created by veteran designer Bruce Kilgore in 1982. There’s a powerful meaning behind the name of this series Nike Air Force 1 aims to offer a high-class feeling to its wearers. And that seems true, because after almost 40 years, this series is still loved by sneaker fans around the world.
The Air Force 1 was the first basketball shoe to use Nike Air cushioning technology. It’s super comfortable and gives you the sensation of walking on air. In 1984, Nike stopped selling this series due to its declining popularity as a basketball shoe. But not long after, Nike brought it back. This time, as a lifestyle shoe because of the high demand.
