New content will launch onto the site over the next two weeks from fashion designers’, Vanishing Elephant; music producer, Jonti; audio visual DJ, Sampology; Sneaker Freaker founder, Simon ‘Woody’ Wood; and curator and graphic artist, Mark Drew.

The campaign forms part of a global celebration of the past 30 years of Air Force 1 and the launch of the new Lunar Force 1 range.

Synonymous with basketball, the Nike Air Force 1 was born in 1982, reflecting unique design symmetry of form and function, reflecting basketball’s need for both skillful execution and unparalleled style.

Three decades and nearly 2000 different colourways later, the Nike Air Force 1 continues to be a cultural icon, on and off the court, and is a true representation of street style spanning music, fashion and art.

‘The Ones’ selected for this campaign are icons in their craft and embody that street status and youthful energy of the Air Force 1.

The new Lunar Force 1 range will be available at the following Foot Looker stores from 12 December, 2012: Swanston Street, Melbourne; George Street, Sydney; Queen Street, Brisbane; and Queen Street, Auckland
