The Air Force 1 athletic shoe, is a product of Nike, Inc. created by designer Bruce Kilgore. This was the first basketball shoe to use the Nike Air technology. The name is a reference to Air Force One, the plane that carries the President of the United States. The shoes are sold in three different types: the low, the mid-top, and the high-top and come in many different colorways, forms, textures, and patterns. The two most common forms of the Air Force 1's are the all white and all black pairs. The Mid-Top Air Force 1 is a variation of the shoe and comes with a non-removable strap and a higher top. The Air Force 1 was produced in 1982 and discontinued the following year. It was re-released in 1986 with the modern italic Nike logo with a swoosh on the bottom on the back of the shoe.

Since then, over 1,700 color variations have been produced, bringing in an estimated 800 million USD/yr in revenue.
