Dating back to 1989, Nike Sportswear will celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Detroit Pistons first back to back championships by releasing a new Air Force 1. Their four game sweep of Magic Johnson’s “Showtime” Lakers to win the franchise’s first championship cemented the Bad Boys in the annuls of basketball history. This Force opts for a more flashy look, featuring an upper mostly composed of red patent leather that nods to one of the team’s uniform colors. The eyestays and throat are dressed in white, with further Pistons-style details arriving on the tongue’s alternate Nike logo. A simple white midsole and icy outsole complete the outwardly visible part of the look.
Look for the Nike Air Force 1 Low “1989 NBA Finals” to release in June 2019 at select retailers and nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $100 USD.
Nike was founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports and initially operated as a distributor for the Japanese shoemaker Onitasuka Tiger (now known as Asics). It officially became Nike Inc. in 1971.The Nike swoosh was designed by Portland State University student Carolyn Davidson，The slogan “Just Do It” was inspired by serial killer Gary Gilmore, who said “let’s do it” just before he was executed by a firing squad in 1977.
