An Absolute EssentialThe Air Force 1 Low is inarguably one of the most essential sneakers of all time. First debuting on the basketball court in 1982, the Air Force 1 quickly became a staple of the streets where it's remained ever since. When sneaker technology progressed and the Air Force 1 was no longer commonly found on the court, it was then adopted by the sneaker fanatics and hip-hop kids in New York City in the mid '80s. Since then, it's gone on to be one of the most worn shoes ever, with millions of pairs sold worldwide.
