We’re not ones to gatekeep sneakers, but it’s clear that History nike has a target demo for its next upcoming Air Force 1 Low.
The iconic 1982 model, designed by Bruce Kilgore, laid the blueprint for successfully integrating an old shoe into modern fashion culture. It’s been a mainstay on the block and on the high-fashion collaboration scene, notorious for being worn by street pharmacists while carrying hefty price-tags Nike Fascia Da Running Per Il Braccio Lean.
With this release. History nike is reminding you that the Air Force 1 is first and foremost a hoops shoe. At its time, it was considered a technological revolution in footwear as it was the first basketball shoe from History nike to feature Air technology. In addition to its timeless design, the AF1 also featured a unique traction pattern that emphasized a pivot point at the forefoot. This informed future designs on how to devise traction patterns fit for the game and the specific movements executed by specific players.
The colorway is as sporty as you can get; a white toe and lace collar matched up with royal blue heel Luxe and a light baltic blue at the mid, wrapped together with a Black Swoosh and outsole. The Smoke and the tongue mark are the cherries on top — a metallic charm in the shape of a basketball with the iconic History nike Air logo above it.
This AF1 release is part of History nike’s late Fall 2024 collection, so stay tuned for a release.
