WITH almost four decades in the industry, the Nike Air Force 1 Low has proven its indisputable staying power.
First introduced in 1983, it quickly appealed to the lifestyle market as a blank canvas for designers, and has become the standard street sneaker ever since. In the 2000s, the iconic silhouette underwent countless makeovers, collaborations, and upgrades, yet, its original look remained distinct.
Over the last few months, Nike has released more than 50 designs of the time-tested pair, and these are our favorites:
Nike Air Force 1 Low '3D'

You're going to need a pair 3D glasses to see its quirky overlapping Swooshes in transparent shades of "Bright Crimson" and "Blue Hero," just like in the movie theatre lens. The clean white base accentuates this classic futuristic effect, making it a literal head-turner. Talk about a subtle yet standout shoe upgrade.
Price: $85
Nike Air Force 1 Low 'Only Once'

Walk like King Midas in this luxurious pair — for less. Celebrating Greater China's High School Basketball League Championship, this AF1 incorporated confetti-like golden speckles all over the black leather sillhouette, and "Only Once" prints on the laces.
Price: $110
Nike Air Force 1 Low 'Hyper Grape'

Remember the first time you learned to apply a gradient effect during art class? Nike took inspiration from that 90s moment. The "Hyper Grape" has kept the signature white leather base, but switched the Swooshes to fabric for a more evident pink-purple gradient effect alongside its graded sole.
Price: $100
Nike Air Force 1 Low 'Muslin Desert-Ore'

Fully rendered in rough muslin canvas, this pair is a simple stunner in a predominantly leather industry. The soft tan canvas layering from the upper to the sole, not to mention the ragged-looking thick stitches is a refreshing take on the timeless AF1s.
Price: $110
Nike Air Force 1 Low Type 'Summit White'

As part of Nike's N. 354 sneaker series, this particular colorway was released together with the Drop-Type and Huarache-Type. The "Summit White" channels handmade creativity through details on exposed stitching and handwritten graphics for that raw street aesthetic.
Price: $140
Nike Air Force 1 Low 'Racer Blue'

Oversized Swooshes have stolen the limelight, what more when they are holographic? As much as the light-diffracted style is hype by itself, you can never go wrong with a classic touch. Large vibrant trademarks and logo tabs give the OG's signature sleek leather base a much-needed twist.
Price: $100
Nike Air Force 1 Low 'New England Patriots'
Nike honors the Pats' recent Super Bowl win with a limited-edition pair, equipped with midnight blue Flyknit and red Flywire. The silver metallic Swoosh is a nod to the Vince Lombardi Trophy, while a "6X CHAMPIONS" graphic is printed on the heel tab.
Price: $219
Nike Air Force 1 Low Vandalized 'Sail'

This particular AF1 is proof that there's beauty in asymmetry. Unleash your bold side with this uneven model that has an off-white leather upper, a soft yellow divided suede Swoosh, and a black deconstructed insole. Heel tabs, which has embossed "NIKE" prints, are black on one foot and yellow on the other
Price: $110
Nike Air Force 1 Low 'Python Snake'

Nike brings back its 1996 best-seller that overflows with lux snakeskin and underground style. Textured patterns on the Swooshes and heel tabs top the signature premium white leather of the "Python Snake." Make a statement with this charmer and its accompanying pair of matching socks.
Price: $130
Nike Air Force 1 Low 'MoMA Emerge'

Street style just got a revamp with Nike's collab with the streetwear giant. Designer Virgil Abloh teamed up with the Museum of Modern Art for another reimagination of the iconic pair. It features a stark black leather upper and striking silver Swoosh, not to mention Off-White's signature "AIR" writing and zip-tie.
Price: $175
