AIR FORCE 1 was created by designer Bruce Kilgore and first introduced in 1982. It is also the first basketball shoe equipped air bag in NIKE history. Then AIR FORCE 1 undoubtedly became the sneaker icon in basketball culture. Clean and stitched overlays and the perfect finish completes the street hoop look. Matthew M Williams, head designer of fashion label 1017 ALYX 9SM, he and the Swoosh embarked on what technically was their first joint venture into the footwear space by launching a four-pronged capsule of Nike Air Force 1 Highs at a Paris Fashion Week pop-up shop.Aside from it being a simple all-black AIR FORCE 1, this rendition substitutes the usual ankle strap for ALYX’s signature buckle, and also features the brand’s moniker spelled out across the lateral heels in gold and on the co-branded tongues/insoles in white. Furthermore, the silver dubraes add in more detailed hits as they split between “1017” on the right and “9SM’ on the left.
