Nike Air Force 1 for men
Nike Air Force 1s for men are one of the most iconic styles of trainer in Nike’s collection. With a huge range of crispy-clean, minimalist designs and colourways, these basketball shoes are worthy of a spot on every shoe rack.
Welcome to the city: The history of a legend
The classic Nike Air Force 1 was designed by Bruce Kilgore in 1982 and named after the plane used to transport the President of the United States. Originally popular with the inner-city youth in Harlem, New York, they were given the nickname “Uptowns”. Instantly recognisable today, the original shoe had a fresh, white design and a chunky sole that made a simple yet striking impact. Although not much has changed from the early days, around 1,700 colour variations have been produced over the years, bringing in huge revenues for the Nike brand and becoming one of their bestselling shoes.
All day – every day
Nike is a popular brand among celebrities including Justin Bieber and Rhianna and is known to transcend the boundaries of culture. The Air Force 1 is available in both high-top and low-top versions and is a streetstyle essential that can easily be dressed up or down. Some of the modern designs even have a breathable Flyknit upper that is comfortable to wear and keeps the feet cool in warmer temperatures.

For an extra unique look, create your own custom version of the famous Nike trainer. You can either pay a company to design your new shoe or get creative and put your craft skills to the test – the more individual the better!
A timeless trend
In addition to the classic styles born in the early 80s, Nike has also released more innovative models in recent times. For example, the Lunar Force 1 was released in 2012. This stylish high-top has a similar visual design but with innovative Lunarlon cushioning. If you prefer a low trainer, the Nike Air Force 1 Low is sure to turn heads with its old-school charm. The success of these and countless other models prove how timeless the Nike Air Force brand really is. As the decades have passed, interest in this cult footwear has soared – and the trend is set to continue.
