The
Women's Air Force 1 (One) Low - White / Gold / Black have been a major hit in the
hip-hop community. Since their first release early 80s while the popularity of
hip-hop grew, so did the Air Force One. Since hip-hop culture was so closely
connected to the streets of New York and the basketball scene there, many of the
up and coming artists from the streets of Brooklyn rose to the top while wearing
the Nike Air Force Ones.
The Nike
Air
Force 1 have been released so many times that
no collector has one of every pair of the Nike Air Force Ones. With so many
limited colorways, celebrity exclusives, and even special holiday shoes, not one
person has a good estimate of how many Nike
Air Force 1 have been
produced.
Nike and the
Air Force Ones
was a huge hit with many groups when they released Chinese New Year, Puerto
Rico, and West Indies
Air Force One. The Puerto Rico and West Indies
Air Force
1 were released in time for the pride parades in New York. These shoes were a
must have for the celebration as well as for collectors around the world. Each
year, Nike releases a new Chinese New Year
Air Force One. The most popular one
were the Year Of the Horse
Air Force 1 Shoes. In fact, Nike made a second release
of these since they were so popular.
The
Air Force Ones got a major dose of attention
from hip hop when Nelly released the song "
Air Force
Ones" in 2002. In the video, you will see Nelly and the St. Lunatics
wearing, buying, and points to
Air Force Ones.
