Nike Air Force 1 Low Premium – Black Varsity Red Neutral Grey

Posted on Wednesday, 8th September 2010 by zoe

Nike Air Force 1 was produced in 1982 and discontinued the following year. After it released Nike selected six basketball players to endorse, which method made this kinds shoe deeply rooted in basket sports. It was re-released in 1986 with the modern italic Nike logo with a Swoosh on the bottom on the back of the shoe. Little has changed to the Air Force One since its creation in 1982, although the original stitching on the side panels is no longer present in modern versions of the shoe. Since then, over 1,700 color variations have been produced, bringing in an estimated 800 million USD/year in revenue. The selling of the Air Force Ones online by certain retailers is prohibited by Nike who has restricted supply of the sneaker.

Nike Air Force one were originally considered the favored shoe of inner-city youth, then hip hop artists and streetball players. Rapper Nelly & Salvador and his group, St. Lunatics, collaborated on a 2002 single entitled “Air Force Ones” about the shoes. As a performance shoe, the AF1 is still used for street play as well as for professional play. NBA players Jerry Stackhouse (who now wears Adidas) and Rasheed Wallace have worn AF1s on court.

This pair of uniquely designed Black Air Force Ones are bound to turn heads, and can be purchased now on eBay. They sport a predominantly black upper constructed from premium leather, ballistic mesh, and black patent leather on the Nike swoosh. Red accents can be seen on the shoe laces and inner lining. The odd thing about these is that the sole sports a classic white design, which is bound to grab your attention, in either a good or bad way.
