1982 saw a major development in the the trajectory of basketball footwear, as a groundbreaking running technology — Nike Air — was used in the sole of the Nike Air Force 1. Three decades later, Nike Sportswear has reintroduced and re-envisioned the iconic basketball shoe for the women who have adopted the style as their own. Tailoring the sneaker to the vagaries of personal style, Nike designers have created the all new Air Force 1 Ultra and Ultra Mid, built with a slimmed-down silhouette, and the Nike Lunar Force 1 Sky Hi, equipped with a wedged outsole complete with Nike Air cushioning and Nike Lunarlon. The heritage Air Force 1 Low and High round out the pack. Look for the kicks to launch in stores starting July 17.
