In 1982, it was the first basketball shoe to house Nike Air, revolutionising the game while rapidly gaining traction around the world, from the hardwood, to the tarmac, to the core of hip-hop culture. Today, the Air Force 1 stays true to its roots withsoft, springy cushioning, but the Nike Air technology takes a back seat to the shoe's status as an icon.
