The new basketball silhouette designed by Bruce Kilgore in 1982 offered unparalleled support and provided maximum freedom of movement with the pivot point placed in the outsole. Compared to other basketball shoes of the time, the Nike Air Force 1 offered 30 percent better cushioning. The AF-1 is also considered the first sneaker to be reissued by Nike. With over 2000 different variants, colorways and collaborations, the Air Force 1 has been able to fight for and maintain its place in everyday life. Now Nike has given the classic a stylish jewel swoosh and a matching lace jewel! But that's not all, Nike has also turned the branding on the tongue and heel on its head!
