The Nike Air Force 1 High variant presented in 2008 showcases an exclusive design detail: a refined upper adorned with the renowned elephant print, a pattern originally conceived by Tinker Hatfield for the Air Jordan 3. Keeping true to its origins, this iteration maintains the signature high-cut silhouette and ankle strap that were distinctive features of the original AF1 released back in 1982, marking a groundbreaking moment as the first basketball shoe to incorporate Air technology. For an authentic experience reminiscent of its era, the Air-Sole cushioning is reintroduced in the sole of this model.
