As cool today as when it first dropped more than 40 years ago, the AF1 is a classic you can count on. Its durable construction, Air cushioning and grippy tread will see you through break time after break time. And while they look great fresh out of the box, they remain cool even when covered in scuffs and scrapes. In fact, they might be even better. This child/teen shoe offers an authentic look with a combination of genuine and synthetic leather, reminiscent of the original Air Force 1 released in 1982. Experience long-lasting comfort with Air cushioning hidden in the heel, originally designed for competitive basketball. The padded low collar creates a stylish and comfortable look, and the rubber outsole provides better grip and increased durability. Fun fact, the iconic circular pattern on the sole was originally designed to help basketball players pivot on the court. It also features classic laces and perforations on the toe for breathability.
