Nike's legendary designer Bruce Kilgore designed the Air Force 1 sneaker, which debuted worldwide in 1982. The silhouette was originally released as a basketball shoe but was slowly accepted by the sneakerheads as a lifestyle choice.

Sneakerheads worldwide don the Air Force 1 Low sneaker as a streetwear look. The sneaker model has maintained its hype in the sneaker community for four decades and has had many collaborative makeovers. It is recognized for its clean aesthetic. The Nike website describes the story and history of the sneaker model as follows:

“Debuting in 1982 as a basketball must-have, the Air Force 1 came into its own in the '90s. The clean look of the classic white-on-white AF1 was endorsed from the basketball courts to the block and beyond.”

It continues,

"Finding its rhythm in hip-hop culture, releasing limited collabs and colorways, Air Force 1 has become an iconic sneaker around the globe. And with over 2000 iterations of this staple, its impact on fashion, music and sneaker culture can’t be denied.”

After introducing the Dunk Low "Chicago Split" and Air Force 1 Low "UNC Split," the Swoosh label has introduced a brand new makeover to its new series of "Split" sneakers. This sneaker model comes in multiple hues, including light silver, white, deep royal blue, and green.

The shoe features half-half tongue branding, split-blocked outsoles, and dual-colored laces. Its upper is constructed of leather, with white tumbled leather and smooth, light bone-hued leather overlays. Another hue is added into the mix with dark gray leather upon mid-panels, tongues, and sock liners.

The look is finished off with deep royal blue-hued swooshes and green-hued laces and sole unit.
