Nike had brought in a shoe line called Nike Air Force 1 way back in 1982. The name Air Force 1 has been taken from the name of the plane, which is used by the president of United States. It was a modest experiment by designer Bruce Kilgore. The experiment succeeded beyond bounds. It not only brought great fortune to Nike but also traveled beyond the Hispanic shores.The shoe line pioneered Nike's air technology. Air technology uses gas-filled plastic membranes in the soles for the purpose of cushioning the shoe.This brings great relief and comfort to the wearer. Within a very short time, the shoe became a craze with the masses.
