Nike Air Force 1 Low — 'Team USA' (IQ0407-100)

What is the Nike Air Force 1 Low 'Team USA'?
The Nike Air Force 1 Low 'Team USA' (style code IQ0407-100) is a special-edition Nike AF1 Low designed as a patriotic tribute to the United States Olympic Team. Built on the most iconic sneaker silhouette in Nike's history — the Air Force 1, originally designed by Bruce Kilgore and released in 1982 as the first basketball shoe to use Nike Air technology — the 'Team USA' edition dresses the classic in White / University Red / Midnight Navy: the exact color palette of Team USA's official Olympic identity. It is equal parts heritage sneaker and national pride statement.

Colorway: White / University Red / Midnight Navy (Style Code: IQ0407-100)
The red, white, and blue palette on the Air Force 1 Low is not a generic patriotic colorway — it is a precise reference to Team USA's official competition colors, the same tones worn by American athletes at the Olympic Games across track, basketball, swimming, gymnastics, and every discipline in between. The white leather base keeps the silhouette clean and timeless; the University Red and Midnight Navy accents anchor it to the American sporting tradition.

Sizing Guide

Available in US sizes 4 to 11 (Men's & Women's sizing). The Nike Air Force 1 Low fits true to size for most. It has a wide, roomy toe box — if you have narrow feet, consider sizing down half a size. For wider feet or a relaxed lifestyle fit, your standard size or half size up is recommended. The AF1 Low runs slightly wider than most Nike running silhouettes.

About the Nike Air Force 1

The Nike Air Force 1 is the most commercially successful Nike sneaker of all time and one of the most culturally significant shoes ever made. Designed in 1982 by Bruce Kilgore as a performance basketball shoe for the court, the AF1 became a street staple in Baltimore in the mid-1980s when local shops began selling it as a lifestyle sneaker — a phenomenon Nike eventually recognized by keeping the shoe in production when it was originally slated to be discontinued. Since then, the Air Force 1 has been released in thousands of colorways, collaborations, and special editions, becoming a canvas for culture, identity, and storytelling. The 'Team USA' edition joins a long lineage of AF1 releases that honor American sport, including previous Olympic year editions released during the 1984 Los Angeles Games, 1996 Atlanta Games, and beyond.

Who Is This Sneaker For?

The 'Team USA' AF1 Low is for the wearer who understands that red, white, and blue on an Air Force 1 is never just a colorway. It is for the sports fan who followed every relay race, every gymnastics floor routine, every basketball final at the Olympic Games. For the sneaker collector who knows that Team USA AF1s have been released across Olympic cycles and carry historical weight. For the everyday wearer who simply wants a clean, classic AF1 that says something without saying too much. And for the patriotic dresser who wants a shoe that works with everything from shorts to denim to sweats.

Q: Does the Nike Air Force 1 Low run true to size?
A: Yes, for most. The AF1 Low has a wide toe box, so those with narrow feet may want to size down half a size. For standard or wide feet, your normal size is recommended.

Q: What is the difference between the Nike Air Force 1 Low, Mid, and High?
A: The Air Force 1 Low has no ankle collar, sitting just above the foot for a sleek, low-profile look. The AF1 Mid adds a partial ankle collar for a slightly elevated silhouette. The AF1 High has a full ankle-height collar for maximum support and a bold look. All three share the same Air cushioning and cupsole construction.

Q: What does the Nike Air cushioning in the AF1 feel like?
A: The encapsulated Air unit in the Air Force 1 midsole provides firm, responsive cushioning with a slight bounce. It is more supportive than foam-only midsoles and gives the AF1 its characteristic slight platform height. It is designed for all-day comfort in lifestyle wear.

Q: Is the Nike Air Force 1 Low 'Team USA' a limited edition?
A: Team USA Olympic editions of the AF1 are released in conjunction with the Olympic Games cycle and are produced in limited runs compared to year-round AF1 colorways. Availability varies by retailer and region.

Q: Can I wear the Nike Air Force 1 Low for sports or basketball?
A: The AF1 Low was originally designed as a basketball shoe in 1982, but today it is primarily a lifestyle sneaker. While it offers excellent cushioning and durability for everyday wear, it is not optimized for modern sport performance. For basketball, Nike recommends current performance court shoes.

Q: What does 'University Red' and 'Midnight Navy' mean in Nike colorways?
A: These are Nike's standardized color names. 'University Red' is a bright, clean red — the same red used across Team USA sports uniforms and many Nike sport editions. 'Midnight Navy' is a deep, rich navy blue that reads as almost black in low light but shows its blue character in natural light. Together with white, they form the classic Team USA palette.

The Air Force 1 and Olympics: A Shared History

Nike and the United States Olympic Committee have had a long and storied relationship, and the Air Force 1 has served as one of Nike's most consistent vehicles for honoring that partnership. From the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics — held just two years after the original AF1's release — through subsequent Games, Nike has returned repeatedly to the AF1 silhouette to celebrate Team USA. The 'Team USA' IQ0407-100 continues that tradition, sitting at the intersection of sneaker history and American Olympic heritage.
