Just Restocked: Nike Air Force 1
Haven Neiman
Best known for instilling a legendary and diverse lineup of sneakers, apparel, and more, when Nike was first established in 1964, it was named ‘Blue Ribbon Sports.’ It wasn’t anything bigger than a small shoe outlet. Since the brand has transformed into being at the pinnacle of fashion and footwear, this reputation took over a decade to build, which all started with none other than the iconic Air Force 1. The classic Air Force 1s are the perfect white sneakers to wear this summer. These must-have spring/summer sneakers have been restocked in men’s, women’s, and kid's sizing. The Air Force 1 ‘White’ is available now at all retail locations + online.
The early beginnings of the Nike Air Force 1’s history are essential to sneaker culture. With over 40 years of history to back it up, the sneaker is nothing short of legendary. First launching in 1982, the Nike Air Force 1 was the brand’s first-ever basketball shoe. The shoe was created by legendary sneaker designer Bruce Kilgore, who was also responsible for sneakers like the Sock Racer, Air Jordan 2, Nike Shox, and more. The veteran sneaker designer's history was as impressive as the Nike Air Force 1. Before designing sneakers, he created household appliances for American automobiles, such as the Pontiac Fieo and Chrysler K-Car. He always appreciated minimalist aesthetics and was tasked by Nike to implement their new ‘Air’ technology into a basketball shoe. Kilgore’s knack for minimalism was evident in the Nike Air Force 1’s construction. The sneaker is deal for any wardrobe.
The iconic Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 in 'White' first starts with a crisp leather base as its upper. Perforations are found primarily at the toe box and the sides. Detailed stitching secures the construction, while a metal tab at the laces offers further dimension. A woven label at the tongue and embroidered Nike branding at the heel makes a statement. The Air cushioning is supported by a rubber outsole for a finishing touch.
