How to Wear Nike Air Force 1 Shoes
By Matthew Fortuna
The Air Force 1 shoe from Nike, named after the famous airplane used by the president, has surpassed Nike's Jordan shoes as the highest-selling shoes in the world. Air Force 1s were first introduced in 1982 and have been released in dozens of colors and designs. The shoe has come to be associated with a type of urban culture, and has become famous as a basketball shoe and a fashion statement. The Air Force 1 has also been strongly linked to the hip hop culture since the release of rapper Nelly's song about the shoes.
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Wear them loosely, with the laces untied and knotted at the end, so that they are not hanging to the ground but not tucked into your shoes, either.
Leave the Velcro straps on the shoes undone and hanging loosely on the shoe.
Tuck the bottom of your pant leg into the tongue of the shoe. Do not let your pants cover the shoes.
Match your Air Force 1s with your hat and other pieces of your wardrobe, such as your shirt, your undershirt, your boxers, your bracelets or your glasses.
Wear them with basketball shorts or denim jeans. Avoid wearing khakis or khaki-colored shorts.
Wear them with low-cut short socks, not mids, calfs, or high-top socks. The low-cut socks emerge just over the ankle and are just visible over the top of the shoe.
