History of the Nike Air Force 1

     According to our followers on Instagram, the most popular sneaker currently is the Nike Air Force 1. So when did this sneaker come about?

     The original Air Force 1 sneaker came out in 1982 and was soon discontinued in 1984. The modern sneaker design with the Nike swoosh was released in 1986. Since them, tons of different variations and colorways of the shoe have been created. The shoes are sold in 5 different styles including low, mid, superlow, high and super high.

     As far as fashion trends go, these shoes were very popular in the late 80's and early 90's after their final release date. Soon after this though they became "uncool" and were not the most popular shoe teens were buying. Today, Air Force 1's are extremely popular and seen as a staple shoe across the campus of Syracuse University.

     With this shoe, you can go classic with the traditional low all white model, or spice it up with the new Air Force 1 NBA pack. People of all styles, from hype beasts to more casual dressers, can find an Air Force 1 right for them. This shoe is also highly rated because of comfort. Easy to slip on and not as clunky as "dino stompers" which have been receiving various hate resulting in meme content recently.

     Depending on the model of the sneaker, they can range anywhere from $90 to over $1000. For example the Air Force 1 x Off-White collab sneaker is going for the big bucks. Normal college students to wealthy sneaker collectors will all be able to find a shoe right for them. I myself have several pairs of Air Force 1s, so I hope these shoes never go out of style again!

From a very young age, I have preferred sneakers and comfy clothes over jewelry and handbags. In middle school, I began to express myself by the shoes I wore. I wanted to stand out and be different from what everyone else was wearing. I never fell into the hole of buying a pair of shoes just because everyone else had them. I rocked hot pink DC's and the original Adidas Tubular sneakers. Since then, I have become quite the sneaker collector. I have over 30 pairs, which makes it extremely difficult to pick a favorite. However, if I absolutely had to pick I would say my Off-White Converse Chucks. These shoes were given to me by a very special person, making them that much more meaningful to myself. I also love the way Virgil, CEO of Off-White, brings his archite...

About Us

From sneaker heads to hype beasts, young adults are crazy over copping the newest sneaker drops coming from brands and collaborations such as Nike, Adidas, Air Jordan, Yeezys and Off-White. Our goal for Kicks of Cuse is to better represent this sneaker community on campus. Kicks of Cuse works like this; we will ask our friends and random students on campus to photograph their shoes and provide a short snippet about why they wear the shoes they do.  This will give us insight into the student's life, interests and personality. Taste of shoes can vary drastically, as we want students to get to know one another by the shoes on their feet. Each photo and quote that we take is posted to our Instagram, @KicksOfCuse so our followers can get to know one another by 'walking a day in their shoes'. Although Kicks of Cuse is based out of Syracuse University, we hope to gain more traction, and in the near future spread Kicks of Cuse to different college campuses.
