The Nike Air Force 1 (AF1) is an iconic sneaker model that has become an enduring symbol of street and pop culture since its inception.

Designed by Bruce Kilgore, they were a revolutionary product at the time, introducing a slew of firsts for the athletic footwear industry.
Bruce Kilgore, Nike's then design director, used his architectural background to design this groundbreaking shoe. He incorporated a slanted shaft for ease of movement, mesh side panels for ventilation, and a circular outsole pattern for superior pivot control. The shoe's most unique feature was the introduction of the Nike Air technology into the midsole, the first of its kind in a basketball shoe. This feature offered the unparalleled cushioning that revolutionized comfort and performance in athletic footwear.
Since its initial release, the Nike Air Force 1 is offered in different cuts to cater to the tastes of various sneaker enthusiasts worldwide. The most recognized are the Low, Mid, and High versions.
