Nike Air Force 1 '07 LV8

CELEBRATE THE SWOOSH.

Hoops in the park, Sunday BBQs and sunshine—the radiance lives on in the Nike Air Force 1 ’07, the b-ball OG that now pays tribute to the origin of the Swoosh and its designer, Carolyn Davidson. Adding a fresh spin on what you know best, its colors and materials are based on the drawing pens, graphing and tracing paper and duct tape Davidson used to sketch the iconic symbol of sport.

Benefits

• The upper is inspired by the art materials Davidson used for sketching the original Swoosh: grid ripstop fabric mimics graphing and tracing paper, duct tape leather symbolizes the tape she used to hold the logo in place and colors represent pen ink on paper.
• Originally designed for basketball performance, the Nike Air cushioning adds lightweight, all-day comfort.
• Padding at the collar feels soft and comfortable while the low-cut silhouette adds a streamlined look.

AF1 Legacy

In 1982, the Nike Air Force One became the first basketball shoe to house Nike Air. Originally designed to help ballers achieve peak performance, the shoe was named after Air Force One—the aircraft that carries the U.S. President. As it revolutionized the game, it also rapidly gained traction around the world, from the hardwood, to the blacktop, to the core of hip-hop culture. Today, the Air Force 1 stays true to its roots with soft, springy cushioning, but the Nike Air technology takes a backseat to the shoe’s status as an icon.
