The Nike Air Force 1 exists exactly forty years in 2022. In 1982 the model was released for the first time and became a basketball icon. Soon, the sneaker was picked up by the streetwear world and the hip hop scene. To this day, the silhouette is a legend and there are many different variants, colorways, collabos and more of the AF-1 released.
To celebrate the sneaker's 40th anniversary, we have listed our ten favourites of the moment. All of these are available at Nike, as are a lot more that you can check out via the button:
