Earlier today, Sotheby’s unveiled a new drop of approximately 20 Nike Air Force 1 sneakers available for immediate purchase through Sotheby’s Buy Now Sneaker Shop.
This drop includes some of the rarest and most coveted editions of the quintessential sneaker: AF1 Lows made exclusively for 10-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony; a pair of privately released white on whites made in celebration of JAY-Zâs 40/40 Club in New York; and LeBron Jamesâ âFour Horsemenâ design, created to honor the basketball legend, to name a few.
Introduced in 1982, Nike’s iconic Air Force 1 design was the first basketball shoe to feature Nike Air cushioning, and was originally released as a high top. The perennially popular low-cut silhouette would hit retail the following year, and has become one of the most beloved sneaker designs in the world.
