Community Classics: Iconic Nike Sneaks

Nike’s history of producing legendary, era-defining footwear is unrivalled.

From the Air Force 1 to the Dunk and Huarache, their iconic line-up of classic kicks is next level.

 

Still going strong today, our range of sneaks and old-school Swoosh style is essential for your rotation.

 

Feel The Force

Debuting back in ’82, the Air Force 1 started life as a basketball sneaker, worn by some of the NBA’s best players of the time.

 

Bringing springy Air cushioning to the hardwood, the Air Force 1 was originally designed with performance in mind.

 

But the release of the Air Force 1 Low caused an explosion of popularity on the streets, sparking the foundations of sneaker culture as we know it today.

 

Still as iconic as ever, the Air Force 1 is now a sneakerhead staple and continues to deliver in a host of bold new colourways.

 

Coming in a women’s Sanddrift and Velvet Brown colourway, with the men’s dropping in a Light Smoke Grey and Summit Navy, they’re cut from premium leather and are sat on a chunky Air midsole for cushioning.

 

Signed off with signature Swoosh branding, the Air Force 1 remains a Nike icon.

 

Here for Huarache

First appearing back in the early ‘90s, the Air Huarache arrived to mixed reviews, mostly down the outlandish design and a lack of Swoosh branding.

 

Originally made for road-running, they were first sold to marathon-runners who praised them for comfort and practicality.

 

It was the feel of the Huarache that eventually brought it to mass attention, with a soft yet durable neoprene upper and a spongy Nike Air midsole.

 

But the OG design is now essential to its appeal today, with fans of classic ‘90s style and retro-inspired ‘fits still lacing them up.

 

Still a street staple, cop the men’s Anthracite, Iron Grey and Black Air Huarache’s for a street-ready look.

 

Old School Threads

If you’re gonna be reppin’ OG Nike treads, the rest of the ‘fit has to match your vibe.

 

With track pants, tops, leggings and sweats bringin’ varsity-inspired style and a ‘90s edge to your look, keep it vintage with our range of classic Nike heat.
