Area 51

Got your fave color yet? No worries. The "Color of the Month" series lets you feed your need while celebrating a little-known piece of Nike history—the original Color of the Month series, back in 1984, may have saved the AF1 from extinction. That's right, a reissue was uncertain in the shoe's beginning, but sports shops in Baltimore saw them selling like hotcakes and knew the AF1 would become synonymous with street fashion and culture. So, they asked for custom colorways to sell from their storefronts...and the rest is history. From pristine materials to classic colors and even a shoe cleaning toothbrush, this edition delivers a lesson in coveted off-court style. Every time you rock 'em, be sure to think of the visionary shopkeepers in Baltimore that made it all happen.

• From tough stitching to pristine materials to the cupsole design, it delivers durable style that’s smoother than backboard glass
• Originally designed for performance hoops, Nike Air cushioning delivers lasting comfort
• Rubber outsole with heritage hoops pivot circles adds traction and durability
• Low-cut, padded collar looks sleek and feels great
