The Model of Street Fashion Based on 1982's famed AF1 basketball shoe, the women's Nike Air Force 1 Low 07 LE reflects the original's transition to casual footwear status. But the switch from court to street didn't mean a dip in prestige; in fact, the sneaker's fame skyrocketed. Today, the Air Force 1 Low is arguably the world's most recognized, and worn, street sneaker. Wearability is Key The AF-1 was the first shoe to include Nike Air heel cushioning; this popular feature contributed to its adaptation for street use. With an attractive low silhouette, comfort-engineered construction, and perforations in toe box and side panels for ventilation, this is the essential shoe for people who live on their feet. Leather upper provides premium look and feel. Overlays add support and durability. Full-length polyurethane midsole promotes comfort and stability. Nike Air cushioning offers extra heel protection. Non-marking outsole with sleek cupsole design provides traction.
