Nike debuted its Air Force 1 silhouette in 1982, which was designed by Bruce Kilgore. The shoe was the first basketball silhouette to introduce air cushioning in the heel, making sure that the shoe was more comfortable for athletes.
Over the years, the sneaker silhouette has transformed from basketball kicks to lifestyle shoes. Therefore, sneakerheads clear out all the stock for various purposes, including casual wearing, shoe collecting, and more.
This year marks the silhouette's 40th anniversary, which is why the label is focusing on giving silhouettes and brand enthusiasts amazing shoes and GR's this year.
Hence, Sportskeeda has listed 5 upcoming Air Force 1 makeovers, which will be released in the second week of September, spanning from September 8 to September 14, 2022.
