Debossed at the heel is the 40-insignia; the text &#8220;82-22&#8221;, another birthday reference, can be found printed on the right insole.<\/p>\n<p>Giving the shoe a more heartfelt touch are its origin details featured on the inner tongue label. Some of the details: its place of creation (Beaverton, Oregon), the date it was created (10 October 1982), and the signature of its designer Bruce Kilgore.<\/p>\n<p>Other more subtle details include a premium leather upper in Sail, topped off with a classy brown Swoosh on its side, and royal gold accents by way of golden dubrae and lace eyelets. Also, the number &#8220;1&#8221; is embroidered over the Nike logo on the tongue.<\/p>\n<p>Nike has yet to announce an official release date for this pair of celebratory AF1 Mid, but a drop on its actual birthday 10 October will definitely make the occasion sweeter.<\/p>\n<p>In other sneaker-related news, check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2022\/10\/03\/first-look-connor-tingley-x-vault-by-vans-authentic\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connor Tingley x Vans Authentic collab<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/snkrdunk_int\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22285 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy.webp\" alt=\"Magazine-Bottom-Banner\" width=\"970\" height=\"\u201c300\u201d\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy.webp 970w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy-300x93.webp 300w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy-768x238.webp 768w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy-282x87.webp 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first pair of Nike Air Force 1 was created on 10 October 1982.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":48279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,21,18,3,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-brands","category-calendar","category-latest-news","category-nike","category-releases"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48277"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48277"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48277\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48298,"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48277\/revisions\/48298"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
