Colin Kaepernick
Since it launched in 1982, the Nike Air Force 1 has crossed the boundary of court to street and, along the way, gone from trend to staple to a global streetwear standard. An icon evolving along the culture that embraces it, the Air Force 1 has undergone colour, material and shape changes without sacrificing its distinct DNA.
The newest iteration, the Nike Air Force 1 x Colin Kaepernick is inspired by the voice of the athlete and his True to 7 storytelling. The luxe black leather upper is accented by a reflective Swoosh design and other high-touch accents in white and black. The shoe also incorporates a series of graphics including a portrait of Kaepernick embroidered on the heel tab, his personal logo on the tongue, a patterned sockliner and a number-seven hang tag.

Heritage
Introduced in 1982, the Air Force 1 redefined basketball footwear from the hardwood to the tarmac. It was the first basketball sneaker to house Nike Air, but its innovative nature has since taken a back seat to its status as a street icon.
