    What’s your favorite AF1 memory? Do you have a favorite colorway?
    The Air Force 1 brings back many memories for me. I remember feeling fresh AF in high school with the white on whites😂 What’s your favorite AF1 memory? Do you have a favorite colorway?

      my father in law's go to shoe (hes 60). he buys four pairs each year, one each season. i was out of the sneaker game for a very long time. i remember thinking this old man still got style. motivated me to get back into the game. i have way more jordans than any other kind of shoe but white af1 lows will always be my favorite for that reason.

    From someone who has worked at Nike and has family members who have worked for Nike.....Before the 2000's Nike wanted nothing to do with "remaking" old shoes. They briefly tried it in 1994 but sales were very low. What happened in the year 2000? Well it is simple...Reebok was making most of it's sales from their "retro" shoe line, so Nike decided to get in on the market. Nike's opinion before Reebok created a "retro" market was that older shoes were simply older technology...they were only interested in focusing on the future. Now most of Nike's sales for sneakers are from their "retro" line...just like Reebok, but this time Nike has a piece of that market as well. We can try to rewrite history and romanticize Nike Air Force 1, but it simply came down to trying to take market share away from Reebok and other competitors.

      What happened? Music is what happened, nothing is more powerful in propaganda than Music. Music decides what is fashionable, what become a trend in culture & what people wear, especially the youth. Rappers started to wear the Nike Air Jordan Retros in the late 90’s & early 2000’s that started to get the youth interested in “Old” Shoes that nobody wanted in 1994. Same happened with the Air Force Ones.
