About the original
The Nike Air Force 1 Low is a leather basketball sneaker designed by Bruce Kilgore and introduced by Nike in 1982, built on a cupsole with a full-length encapsulated Nike Air unit, the first Nike basketball shoe to use the Air cushioning technology. Nike was founded in 1964 in Eugene, Oregon as Blue Ribbon Sports and rebranded in 1971. The FW18 three-way collab with Comme des Garçons SHIRT and Supreme uses a black full-grain leather upper with a split Swoosh running along the side seam and co-branded embroidery on the heel tab. It retailed for $165 and released November 8, 2018.
About Nike
Nike is an American sportswear corporation founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by track coach Bill Bowerman and runner Phil Knight in Eugene, Oregon, and renamed Nike in 1971. The Swoosh was designed that same year by graphic design student Carolyn Davidson for thirty-five dollars. Bowerman prototyped the Cortez and the waffle-sole Moon Shoe, and the Air Max line, introduced in 1987, made Tinker Hatfield's visible-air midsole a signature. Nike now produces footwear and apparel across running, basketball, football, and training, and owns Jordan Brand and Converse. Supreme has collaborated with Nike repeatedly since 2002 across Air Force 1, Air Max, and Dunk.
