Only a week ago we showed to you what we were told to be “Muhammad Ali” Air Force Ones, but recently we found out that though the shoes are inspired by boxing, they are inspired the boxing heritage of Los Angeles.
The new Nike Air Force 1 pays homage to the rich history of boxing within the City of Los Angeles. A tribute to Luis Villanueva Paramo the Mexican boxer better known as Kid Azteca. Villanueva Paramo boxing career spanned four decades from 1932-1961, resulting in exactly 200 professional bouts.
Designed by Los Angeles’s very own Rob Abeyta, the new Nike Air Force1 is available on September 16th. We called our local spot and the word is that these are not only limited to the Los Angeles area. Price will be $135 the last we heard.
