In 1979, Nike launched its first running shoe with Air Technology: the Tailwind. Once this technology had proven itself, the Nike designers thought about which sport could profit from this modern cushioning. Basketball was soon a topic, because here the players undergo extreme physical strain. Before Nike Air Technology was integrated in basketball shoes, many players used to wear several socks on top of each other to protect themselves from the impact when jumping.
1982 was then the year: Air Force 1 was launched on the market. It was the first Nike basketball shoe integrating Nike Air Technology and it became one of the most popular shoes on the hardest courts in the world. The Air Force 1 was originally developed for players like Moses Malone and Jeff Ruland. But it was soon worn by other basketball legends whose game was radical.
