The Air Force 1 basketball sneaker features patented air technology created by Nike, Inc. The sneaker also features a full-length air sole that increases the level of comfort and cushioning of the Air Force 1. This sneaker was originally released in 1982. While produced in Asia, Air Force 1 sneakers remain one of the most popular sneaker types in the United States.

Where to get your sneaker
Readily found as a low or mid-top sneaker, the Air Force 1 has maintained a similar design since its inception in 1982. This basketball sneaker also features the “swoosh” symbol that differentiates all Nike products.

Air Force 1 sneakers can vary in price, but will often cost approximately $80.00 - $150.00. These basketball sneakers can be found in Niketown stores or through the website www.nike.com. Footlocker and Finish line are also authorized dealers of Nike footwear.

Increasingly, the ease of online shopping has made the purchase of Air Force 1 sneakers easy to acquire in the virtual market. Consumers must always remain cautious, however, because the popularity of the Air Force 1 has also made the shoe a likely candidate for illegal replication. Furthermore, because this is a limited sneaker, new releases of Nikes are exclusively offered through Nike retailers. However, older, or collectible versions of the Air Force 1 are available through private individual resellers and dealers.

Eastbay, an online retailer, features small quantities of Air Force 1 sneakers for men, women, and children. Most of their Air Force 1 sneakers will be available for purchase in late January 2007.Their website, www.eastbay.com, offers the Nike Big Kids Air Force 90 for $70.00, as well as the Men's Air Force 25 Supreme Black/Black/Chrome for $175.00. The Nike Air Force 25 basketball shoe is also available in red and white for $150.00. Other versions of the sneaker are also available online through specific site prompts made available through the site’s search engine.

Ever-changing Style
Classic versions of the Air Force 1 can uniquely created through the Nike homepage www.nike.com. This site allows the user to customize a select number of sneakers. Through the online customization process, consumers may play with the colors of the sole, ties, patented logo, and more. In most instances, the easy process of customization can be completed in less than ten minutes for approximately $150.00.
Air Force One sneakers, as limited edition footwear, are also popular collector’s items. Often, once the sneaker’s production line has ceased, the cost of the sneaker will greatly increase. In fact, according to Forbes magazine, one special edition model of the Air Force 1 is so rare, that it may retail for $1000.00 or more. Examples of other special edition Air Force 1 sneakers include the Superman model, as well as versions created for music videos or holidays such as the Chinese New Year. Updated listings of available Air Force Ones are available on the website www.nike.com.

Don?t ruin my day. .? Stacy: ?Then I will go later when we come home from spending the day? Mom: ?No you are not going later, you don?t have to go you are getting obsessive with it. You are getting obsessive with the 99 cent store. It isn?t that you have nothing to wear. I am not making dinner for you? Stacy: ?Mom do you realize you are acting like a child? Mom: ?May be I am a child but I am not taking you. And I am not making you dinner, Buy your own? Stacy: ?Take me home. I don?t need this.
