Nike's Latest Air Force 1 High ’07 Recalls the Original Colorway
References: embed.whatdropsnow & highsnobiety
Designer Bruce Kilgore designed the original Nike Air Force 1 sneakers, marking the beginning of one of its most iconic sneaker silhouettes -- recently, the new High ’07 iteration arrives in a nostalgic colorway. The Air Force 1s were originally introduced back in 1982 and was only available as a high-top initially, broadening to lower cuts afterward.
The sneakers drew inspiration from the structure of a hiking boot, fused with a thick sole and soft cushioning elements of Nike Air, marking the first time that this tech was incorporated into a basketball model. The original 1982 iteration arrived in a colorway highlighting white and gray and the latest Air Force 1 High ’07 sneakers recall the same hues, boasting the same construction of cushioning and rubber cupsole.
