The campaign forms part of a global celebration of the past 30 years of Air Force 1 and the launch of the new Lunar Force 1 range. Synonymous with basketball, the Nike Air Force 1 was born in 1982, reflecting unique design symmetry of form and   function, reflecting basketball’s need for both skillful execution and unparalleled style.
