Nike Air Force 1 Low 1982 Player Sample | Size 13.5

As an inaugural colorway of the iconic Nike Air Force 1 from the original 1982 release, this deadstock pair is even rarer given its Player Sample designation with the stamp on the sockliner.  In a white leather upper, with Royal Blue Swooshes, heel tabs, and outsole, this famous colourway has been repeated throughout the years across models.

The Air Force 1, arguably Nike’s most iconic sneaker, is in many regards the first of its kind. Previously realized in running shoes, the introduction of Nike’s "Air" technology in the midsole was a revolutionary concept for basketball sneakers. Tasked with bringing the concept to life, designer Bruce Kilgore and an aerospace engineer brought the project to fruition with a hiking boot-inspired, ankle strapped, high top. Kilgore’s first basketball sneaker, the Air Force 1, was brought to market in 1982. 

Today, through hyped collaborations, unparalleled versatility and ubiquity in popular culture, Air Force 1s continue to be a fan favorite around the world and one of Nike’s all-time best-selling sneakers.
