Israeli website of Nike presents the Air Force 1 Low “Kelly Green" shoes on its official website, stating,

"The radiance lives on in the Nike Air Force 1 '07. This hoops original puts a fresh spin on everything you know best about the AF-1, including crisp leather, bold details and the perfect amount of flash to make you shine. The shiny patent leather accents and blissful blue hues add a premium look and feel, while the Air cushioning will have you feeling like you're walking on clouds."

It also adds,

"Debuting in 1982 as a basketball must-have, the Air Force 1 came into its own in the '90s. The clean look of the classic white-on-white AF-1 was endorsed from the basketball courts to the street and beyond."
