Nike Air Force 1 Vibram
The Air Force 1 has spent more than four decades proving it belongs almost anywhere. Now Nike takes the iconic silhouette back to one of the ideas that helped shape it. Originally inspired in part by the Nike Approach hiking boot, Bruce Kilgore's legendary design returns with a rugged update featuring a durable textile upper and a Vibram outsole built to tackle terrain beyond the pavement. Nike Air cushioning preserves the everyday comfort that made the AF1 a cultural icon, while the trail-ready sole adds dependable traction for mountain hikes, weekend escapes, and everything in between. It is a fitting evolution for Nike's best-selling sneaker, reminding us that the Air Force 1 has always been built to explore beyond the court.
