Got your fave colour yet? No worries. The 'Colour of the Month' series lets you feed your need while celebrating a little-known piece of Nike history—the original 'Colour of the Month' series, back in 1984, may have saved the AF-1 from extinction. That's right—a reissue was uncertain in the shoe's beginning, but sports shops in Baltimore saw them selling like hot cakes and knew the AF-1 would become synonymous with street fashion and culture. So, they asked for custom colourways to sell from their shop fronts … and the rest is history. From pristine materials to classic colours and even a shoe-cleaning toothbrush, this edition delivers a lesson in coveted off-court style. Every time you rock 'em, make sure you think of the visionary shopkeepers in Baltimore that made it all happen.

Air Force 1
Debuting in 1982 as a basketball must-have, the Air Force 1 came into its own in the '90s. The clean look of the classic white-on-white AF-1 was endorsed from the basketball courts to the street and beyond. Finding its rhythm in hip-hop culture, releasing limited collabs and colourways, Air Force 1 became an iconic sneaker around the globe. And with over 2,000 iterations of this staple, its impact on fashion, music and sneaker culture can't be denied.
