Originally released in 1982 and nearly shelved forever, it was the people and community that kept the Air Force 1 alive and established the silhouette as the icon it is today. During its reign in the mid 1990s, the Air Force 1 was introduced in many lifestyle iterations that transcended the court and pierced through culture, such as the 1996 �Ivory Snake.� Last reissued in 2019, the cult classic �Ivory Snake� now returns in true form, complete with a leather upper, faux snakeskin hits on the Swoosh and backtab, as well as true-to-OG Nike Air branding on the backtab.
