Elevated Air The Men's Air Force 1 High is one of the most iconic sneakers of all time. Always large and in charge, the Air Force 1 High debuted on the basketball court in 1982 as the first Air-cushioned basketball shoe in Nike's history. Transitioning from the court to the streets as technology progressed, the Air Force 1 High quickly became a staple for casualwear as well as performance. It was adopted by sneakerheads and the hip-hop community in East Coast cities like New York and Baltimore in the mid '80s, and eventually became a globally loved sneaker icon as one of the most-worn high-top sneaker designs ever, with fans from every age, gender, and style. From the bold high top to the ankle strap, the Air Force 1 High is an all-time classic with amazing comfort and a clean, simple, timeless look. Limitless Style The Air Force 1 High is most popular in its white-on-white and black-on-black leather colorways, but the shoe has been produced in thousands of other color combinations, materials, and special editions throughout its long life. There's virtually no end to the possibilities for new iterations of the Air Force 1 High. Men's Nike Air Force 1 High Features: Leather, synthetic, or textile upper depending on the style.
