Air Force Ones are a product of the Nike Company, and were first released in 1982. They are still very common in many areas of the world, and have even become known as ?the shoe? to have in many suburban areas. The early models of the shoe were inspired by a hiking shoe, and although they did not have the perforated to box, the featured mesh side panels. The term Air Force 1 refers to the airplane used to transport the President of the United States of America.

Many different types of Air Force Ones have been produced since the date of their original release. There have been so many exclusives, special editions, and varieties of colorways that not even a superior sneakerhead could possibly have ever single pair. They have been issued in low top versions, mid tops, and high tops, and although their original purpose is basketball, many consumers today wear them strictly for show. There have been editions made to represent specific countries, special events (i.e. ? the Olympics), entertainers, and some have even been specially made for athletes. It isn?t easy to calculate how many Nike Air Force Ones have been produced.
