Nike Air Force 1 High

Bruce Kilgore’s high top Air Force Ones roared onto the court in 1982, becoming a fast favorite with professional hoop stars. Initial advertising featuring Michael Cooper, Moses Malone, Calvin Natt, Jamaal Wilkes, Bobby Jones, and Mychal Thompson furthered the shoe’s popularity among pro players. Nike, however, wasn’t sure of the style’s staying power. They released the Nike Air Force 1 Low in 1983, but it was a trio of shoe retailers in Baltimore that triggered the silhouette’s long-term success. A series of unique colorways, eventually dubbed the “Color of the Month Club,” created a new market for Air Force Ones as a cultural marker and style must-have.
