Originally released in 1982, the Nike Air Force 1 was the first Nike model to feature "Air" technology. This well-known basketball sneaker was designed by Bruce Kilgore, and named after the aircraft that carries the President of the USA, the Air Force One. The Air Force 1 is Nike's most popular sneaker to date, and is available in a low cut model. The Air Force 1 low, is seen in with a black mid-sole and out-sole, with a matching suede upper that is then blended with a black swoosh, laces, tongue, branding and in-sole.
