Nike Air Force 1 GS Black White
The Air Force 1 came out in 1982 as a basketball shoe and has never gone away since. This edition is the GS version in black leather, with a white Swoosh on the side and the word AIR in white on the midsole. We still have it in size 38.
What does GS on the box mean?
GS stands for grade school: the size range Nike makes for older kids, roughly from 35.5 to 40. Otherwise the model is the same as the adult version, so if your foot fits that range, you can wear it just as well. To convert your size to this range, check Nike’s size guide.
Where does that air chamber in the sole come from?
The Air Force 1 was Nike’s first basketball model with an air chamber in the sole. It sits under your heel, in the thick black midsole, and absorbs the impact with every step. You notice it most on hard surfaces: sidewalks, concrete, a schoolyard.
Why this model has lasted forty years
The shoe started out on the basketball court and was then picked up by street culture on the US East Coast. Nike has barely touched the shape since. That’s exactly why it never goes out of style: no new version comes along that leaves this one behind.
Black with white: how eye-catching is that?
The leather is solid black with a fine grain. Against that sits a white Swoosh, plus AIR in white on the sole. The midsole and outsole are both black, and there’s a small red label on the tongue. That’s all the contrast there is, which makes it easy to wear: it goes with dark pants and with light jeans.
How to keep the leather clean
Smooth leather doesn’t soak up moisture the way suede does, so it survives a wet day just fine. Most dirt wipes off with a damp cloth. Because the sole here is black rather than white, marks show less quickly; dust that gets stuck in the grooves comes out with an old toothbrush. It doesn’t belong in the washing machine.
Bart der Weduwen, assistant store manager: on this version the sole is black too, so you see scuffs and street dirt on it far less than on the white Air Force 1. This is the last size 38 we have here.
Do you wear shoe size 38 and want a shoe that goes with almost any pants?
Do you walk or bike to school every day?
Are you mostly on sidewalks, concrete and the schoolyard on weekends?
Want a shoe that doesn’t show street dirt right away?
Do you wear size 41 or larger? The GS range stops at 40; check out the Air Force 1 in men’s sizes instead.
Do you play indoor basketball or futsal? Get a proper indoor court shoe for that, because this sole is made for the street.
Want a shoe for long walks? Then choose a walking or running shoe; this leather fits more firmly around your foot.
Check the Nike size guide to find your right size.
The GS range runs from EU 35.5 through 40, and we only have size 38 left.
The shape is the same as the adult version, so just measure your foot as usual.
