These sneakers were worn by Quin Snyder, Head Coach of the Atlanta Hawks, on April 5, 2025.
Sotheby’s, in partnership with the NBA, NBCA, and the “To the Max Foundation” is proud to present these custom Nike Air Force 1 sneakers worn by Quin Snyder.
The custom coaches’ shoes were worn on the sidelines from April 2 through April 6, 2025, to celebrate and bring awareness to Autism Acceptance Month.
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, Frank Rudy, 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.
