Came across this feature on TheShoeGame.com.
Most of yall have heard DJ Clark Kent's name before. Dude is heavily affiliated with Nike and is known these days mostly for being a sneaker connoisseur. Air Force 1's are his main thing, and Nike lets him make his own designs every now and then.
Some they release to the public, and others they dont (although a few pairs still end up making their way out into the world).
Although a couple pairs of his have been decent design-wise, some havent. Every one has different tastes though so I may be in the minority with that opinion, but one thing that pretty much everyone will agree with is that dude has immense knowledge when it comes to AF1s and their history.
This is his list of the top 50 AF1s ever. I thought it was a VERY interesting piece, even for people who may not be heavy into air forces, but like sneakers in general. There's some real classics, from stashes to linens to cocoa snakes to entourages to campers.
Follow the link for the article, and the list in its entirety.

Im not into air forces like that personally. I only own 3 pairs, 1 of which are some black suede/white swoosh mids from '04, along with my waterproof lows, and my personal favorite and a grail of mine, the black/white sole/double swoosh NYC lows (easily #1 if I were to make my own top 50).
This is an old pic of mine, fitting considering the topic...Definitely one of the few pairs in my collection I couldn't see myself moving...
