Basketball sneakers made by Nike in 1982, but re-released in the 90's because everyone wanted to buy a new pair. To this day, they are the most popular basketball shoes on the planet: nike spends no money advertising air force ones, yet the amount of air force ones sold IN A MONTH is equal to the amount of ALL of the air jordans PUT TOGETHER sold in a year.
this was talked about in the movie, Just for Kicks.
Low-top air force ones are also very popular as fashion sneakers, because the shoe has a clean, classic design, and the all-white low tops or all-black low tops can be had for $80 a pair, and several sneaker customizers, including famous graffiti artists like STASH and futura2000, use the air force one sneakers as a blank canvas to design new things.
also referred to as uptowns, G-Nikes, nike airs, uppies, harlems, baltimores, forces, and air forces, etc.
