Nike - AF1 LOW PREM FUTURA
By far the most iconic of Nike's prodigious eighties output, 1982's Air Force 1 equalled it's presidential namesake in the Air stakes, bringing the cutting-edge, gas-filled technology to the courts for the first time. And the rest, as they say, is history. A key player in the early days of collectible colourway stakes, high, low or mid, nowadays it's easy to take the sheer volume of variations on this basketball titan for granted. Rugged construction from a durable upper to the chunky midsole, it's a testament to the comfort and performance of this iconic masterpiece that they still remain a staple design, decades after their introduction. Continuing the rivalry theme of past seasons, we think these tie in with Lenny's love of baseball and visits to baseball grounds - the topic of his 'Cathedrals Of The Game' project. Premium leather, perforations and a translucent outsole with that familiar tag beneath, plus lace jewels and tongue label in that familiar font. Killer.
