News; The air force onePublished: Thursday 22 October, 2009
Basketball needed Nike AF1 shoes. Getting it onto the court, though, was no mean feat. Three years--and when the Air Force 1 hit the hardwood in 1982, the shoe brought distinction to the professional game. Despite success with the "Original Six," Nike threatened to discontinue the discount AF1 shoes in 1984. The people of Baltimore, led by three retailers, stepped in and altered history. In that moment, ownership of the Air Force 1 transferred to all those who would wear it.
26 years later, every single 2009 cheap AF1 shoes is a work of craftsmanship. Completely remastered for the crispest lines and finest comfort. Inside, we've re-sculpted the padding, eliminated interior seams, and calibrated the fit. Outside, a whiter white, laser-sharpened leather edges and a redesigned deubre’ to allow laces to lie absolutely flat.  |
