It’s hard to imagine the world without the Nike Air Force 1.

Bruce Kilgore and the Swoosh may not have anticipated the success of their presidential basketball sneaker in 1982, but the Nike Air-donning model has gone on to influence: footwear design, sport, collecting, retail, fashion, music and culture-at-large since its debut 40 years ago. If it wasn’t for a trio of Baltimore-based shops–Charley Rudo, Cinderella Shoes and Downtown Locker Room–the Air Force 1 would’ve been left in ’84 as Nike had considered discontinuing Kilgore’s creation, leaving generations without the opportunity to enjoy one of the best sneaker designs of all time.

At 40 years old, the Air Force 1 is as relevant as ever, appearing on TikTok, fashion show runways and Harlem streets. Styles like the “White-on-White” continue to reign supreme, but collaborations with high-profile names; region-inspired collections; and experiments with color, material and more have helped expand the sneaker’s appeal. And because there are so many options to choose from, we’ve teamed up with the Swoosh to highlight 12 pairs you can choose from right now.
