The Arrival of the Men’s Nike Air Force 1

Created by Bruce Kilgore, the men’s Nike Air Force 1 made its first appearance in 1982, showing off its capabilities on the basketball court. This new sneaker was designed to aid NBA players as they performed high-stress movements during games, with the AF1 (then a high top) offering improved cushioning beneath the foot thanks to the inclusion of an Air unit, a groundbreaking innovation in the world of performance footwear.

In addition to providing extra support and protection from injury, the men’s AF1 was incredibly stylish, and when the collection finally became available for purchase, sneakerheads were lining up to buy a pair. The trainer’s chunky silhouette and clean upper made it very appealing for those searching for a fashionable shoe they could wear daily; the large Swoosh logo on the sidewall was a particular highlight, making the AF1 instantly recognisable.

What Types of Men’s Air Force 1s Are There?

Upon its debut, the men’s Nike Air Force 1 was presented as a high top. Today, however, there are several versions, including a mid and low top. The low top is especially popular because of its ability to seamlessly pair with almost all outfits, but it lacks the support of the mids and highs, as these feature an ankle strap, which is a particularly useful feature if you’re planning to use them for their original purpose—that is, playing basketball.

No matter your preference, you’re guaranteed to find a pair you’ll love in the JD Sports AU lineup. Start browsing today to secure your preferred colourway, and don’t forget to check out our exclusives, which you won’t find anywhere else.
