The Nike Air Force 1 (AF1) is another iconic sneaker model that has a rich history and has become a key element in the world of sneakers. Air Force 1s were first released in 1982. They were named after the Air Force One aircraft used by the President of the United States. These sneakers were originally designed for basketball players. At its launch, the Air Force 1 was the first sneaker to feature Nike Air technology, meaning it had an air sole for better shock absorption. This innovation changed the course of athletic shoe design. The original release of the Air Force 1 was discontinued in 1984. However, it had such an impact on the sneaker world that it was re-released in 1986 and has remained available ever since.
