Where can I buy the Air Force 1?

The Air Force 1 is available virtually anywhere Nike products can be purchased. Nike's SNKRS app and website are great for exclusive pairs and offer customization services. Large retailers like Shoe Palace and Foot Locker carry most general release pairs while smaller boutiques like Kith stock rare, highly sought-after pairs.

What colorways does the Air Force 1 come in?

It'd be impossible for us to list every colorway that has blessed the Air Force One. While originally released in hightop form with a white and grey colorway, you can find the sneaker on shelves in every color visible to the human eye. Most important to the sneaker's history is a set called the “Color of the Month” program. Originally the sneakers were released exclusively through select retailers in browns, blues, and other combos. This exclusive series of sneakers gained popularity among collectors of the time and took the sneaker from obscure ‘80s basketball sneaker to pop culture icon.

How does the Air Force 1 fit?

Air Force 1s run a tad wide in the forefoot and around the toe. We recommend sizing down a half or full size for a snug fit unless you have wide feet. Many collectors wear crease protectors to keep the shoe's toebox from folding up. If you plan on going this route, we recommend going with your true size.

Does the Air Force 1 restock?

The Air Force 1 restocks more often than most sneakers. Every retailer large and small consistently has pairs of the shoe available in all black and all white for the majority of the year. For rarer pairs, we recommend Nike's website and SNKRS app or niche boutique stores that may pop up with recent pairs back on shelves. As always, for more info on sneaker restocks, check the Sole Retriever app.

What Air Force 1 collabs are there?

Seems like every week there's a new collaboration on the Air Force 1. The sneakers are very possibly the most collaborated-on silhouette of any sneaker brand, which isn't shocking given their popularity. The fashion world's Louis Vuitton, Tiffany, and Comme des Garçons have taken luxurious approaches, while Terror Squad, Jay-Z, Travis Scott, and Billie Eilish have shown that musical artists can reinterpret the shoe in creative ways, too. Even surprising collaborators like Playstation, HBO's Entourage, and New York's favorite spot for a slice, Scarr's Pizza, have tried their hand at reimagining the masterpiece that is the AF1.

What is the Air Force 1?

For a sneaker designed in 1982, the Air Force 1 takes the simplicity of the ‘80s and modernizes it, no matter the era it's dropped in. The sneaker is released in three height variations: high, mid, and low. Built for performance, the sneakers traditionally only came in leather, but can now be found in every material and color imaginable. Mid and Hightop pairs come with straps across the uppers, initially created to lock the wearer in and reduce slipping; however these days they're used for aesthetic purposes for the most courageous and stylish to experiment with.
