Air Force 1sNike Air Force 1s have been an instant success since first appearing in 1982. Very quickly becoming a classic,Nike Air Forces and Air Jordons Articles customers re always asking if their local store can get hold of any of the older classic styles of Air Force 1s.      Three local businessmen got so fed up with the repeated requests that they forced Nike to bring back the old Air Force 1s. They were given the nickname of the three amigos and because of their hard work getting Air Force 1s re-instated Nike owes these men a really big debt of gratitude.       This year Nike will be celebrating the birth of the Air Force1s and also the Air Force 25. In honour of this great event they are actually turning a wall in selected stores into an Air Force display, with beautiful backdrops and dark wood surrounds it makes a very eye catching focal point.    The 20th Anniversary of Nike Air Force 1’s was in 2002. They have been creating a higher class Air Force 1 for celebrities and the elite; it was made so that it could be worn as a dress shoe. Made of leather and sometimes-real skin.        These shoes are the crème de la crème of the Air Force 1’s and you would not see these being worn down the high street unless a very important person or celebrities wore them.        Later this year Nike will be releasing the Supreme Air Force 1’s, which will have superb upgrades for your money. The shoe is stitched inside out to give you better quality, and a smoother line.Air JordonsWere created to re-invent Nike as a top shoe company when things were getting bad for them, they set about designing a new shoe and got Michael Jordon to endorse them. This was in 1984.       Then a new line the Air Jordon was created. Although at first Michael Jordon was less than impressed he eventually agreed and from that moment the Air Jordon Legend was born.        Air Jordon was still a part of Nike until 1997 when the Air Jordon became it’s own sub brand and Air JordonX111, the Air Jordon Team, and Air Jordon Trainers were born.         They have been one of the top selling shoes since their creation, and every household now knows the Air Jordon name. In fact many people eagerly await the next Air Jordon release.         What is not commonly known so much is that Michael Jordon has a vast amount of input on every Air Jordon made, his ideas, and his hobbies, and in fact every event in his life are all impressed on the Air Jordon line.
