The Nike Air Force 1 continues to enjoy a level of popularity that is unmatched by any other sneaker, and one of the reasons for this is that it fits in any particular culture. You may wear them with anything from jeans to shorts to pants to socks, regardless of whether they are white, black, or any other color, low, mid, or high tops.
The low-top version of the Nike Air Force 1 was first released in 1983 as an alternative to the high-top version. Three businessmen from Baltimore had a meeting with Nike, where they indicated their interest in having the company produce exclusive AF-1s for them. That event marked the commencement of limited editions in collaboration with other artists.
Eventually, with the general back and forth of new creatives and the design of the Nike Air Force 1, the model became one of the most coveted among sneakerheads. Moreover, Nike did not hesitate to create various iterations of the Nike Air Force 1 on multiple budgets for every sneaker lover.
Here is a list of the five best Nike Air Force 1 sneakers that are available under $500 for sneakerheads.
