Air force ones shoes

are made by Nike Inc. and these popular shoes were first introduced in 1982.  Being the first basketball shoes by Nike to use air technology, these shoes get their name from the airplane that is most commonly used to fly the President of the United States from one location to another, the Air Force One.

The air force one shoe has remained popular since early 1982 with the popularity lasting still to this day.  Being among one of the most sought after shoes, the air force ones shoes are often in high demand yet remain in short supply.  There are many online stores that offer to change the look of the shoe by dyeing different parts of the shoes a new color.  Some of the parts of the shoe that are often changed to new colors are the bottom, heel, toe, and the swoosh.

Often these popular shoes are come in different colors simply to mark such special occasions as the Olympics where they are sometimes offered in colors that commemorate different countries that may be participating.  Some examples of this are the colors that were made specifically to honor New York, Detroit, Puerto Rico and even the West Indies.

Many well known celebrities often choose to have their own version of air force ones shoes by having a pair custom made by Nike.  At least one well known NBA player chose to wear these shoes throughout his career, wearing the always popular high top AF 1′s made by Nike.  At one point there was even a song that was made popular by rapper Nelly who recorded the song “Air Force Ones”.

The air force one shoe is also quite popular among hip hop fans who believe that these shoes provide them with individuality.  Many like to change the colors on the inside just to make them unique to their own individual personality.

Air force ones were first introduced as high tops, followed immediately by the low top shoe and eventually they were even introduced as a mid top.
Another popular feature of these shoes was the jewel swooshes that were sometimes made available in either a small rubber swoosh or metallic plastic known as the super jewel.

It is no secret to those who love the Nike air force ones shoes that you can even design your own style of these shoes in many instances.  While designing your own pair of AF 1′s will be a little more costly, many simply can’t resist the opportunity to show their own unique style and are willing to shell out the extra bucks for this feature.

Originally made with a plastic material, Nike soon started to manufacture these fantastic shoes in leather, making for a much better and longer lasting pair of shoes.

So, whether you want high tops, low tops, or mids, if you want to design your own  air force ones shoes or choose a pair of the already awesome colors offered, you can be certain that you will love your new air force ones shoes.
