Released in 1982, the Nike Air Force 1 was named after the American presidential plane: Air Force One. This was the first basketball shoe to use Nike Air technology, which revolutionized the style of play for professionals like Moses Malone and Charles Barkley. It has since become extraordinarily popular around the world from the court to the curb, and become a hip-hop style icon. Nike Air Force 1 remains true to the original model in this little kids' version, and comes equipped with the Nike Air system. Leather upper and non-marking rubber outsole.
