Description:

These are a pair of Nike Air Force 1 '07 shoes and their box that were newly purchased. The product is described as having durably stitched overlays, clean finishes and the perfect amount of flash to make you shine. Nike's website explains the Air Force 1 shoe originated in 1982 and was the first basketball shoe to house Nike Air, revolutionizing the game while rapidly gaining traction around the world. The brand also states that the Air Force 1 stays true to its roots with the same soft and springy cushioning that changed sneaker history. This clothing item was selected as part of the Student Style Project, 2023, for inclusion in the Grand Rapids Public Museum Collection (see related objects and program).
