Air Force 1s

Iconic white sneakers

Air Force 1s are Nike basketball sneakers first released in 1982, named after the U.S. presidential aircraft.

The shoe became a streetwear icon, especially the all-white leather low-top version.

They're a staple of hip-hop fashion and urban style: He keeps his Air Force 1s crispy white.

Often shortened to AF1s or just Forces.
