How to Style Your Air Force Ones: Head-to-Toe Looks for the Holidays

When Bruce Kilgore designed Nike’s Air Force Ones in 1982, he couldn’t have possibly known that his creation would not only change the game of basketball but set into motion a fashion trend that would thrive for more than three and a half decades after the sneaker’s release.

The Air Force One was the first basketball shoe Nike created. It featured a simple silhouette, sturdy construction, and first-class cushioning in the form of a Max Air unit located in the shoe’s heel.

After NBA star Moses Malone won an NBA title in a pair of Nike’s new kicks, the AF 1 became THE pro-choice basketball sneaker.

Today, the Air Force 1 is the company’s best-selling shoe of all time.

This holiday season, give the gift of greatness by shopping Hibbett | City Gear’s extensive collection of Air Force 1s in dozens of colorways and in men’s, women’s, and kids’ sizes!

Can’t Beat The Classics – Men’s Looks

The AF 1 debuted in a clean white colorway, uncomplicated by a colored midsole, lacing system, or embellishments. No matter if you prefer your Air Force Ones in low-top or mid-top form, in all-white, or in monochromatic black and white, this sneaker’s simplicity makes it extremely versatile and easy to build an outfit around.

Men’s All-White AF1s with activewear: Pair the kicks with a Nike Men’s Club Fleece “Limelight” Hoodie and a pair of Nike Men’s Club Fleece “Limelight” Joggers, and you’re ready to sink threes on the hard-court.
