Check out the 10 Classic Air Force 1 Colorways We'd Like To See On Lunar Force 1s.

Nike Lunar Force 1 "Ueno"
Original Air Force 1 Released: 2005
Making a bulky basketball sneaker like the Air Force 1 look elegant isn't the simplest task, but the all-over lasered Ueno version was just that. Hardly anything is lost in the transfer to Lunar.
Nike Lunar Force 1 "Stash"
Original Air Force 1 Released: 2006
Stash's palette of greys and blues has found its way onto quite a few silhouettes over the years, but perhaps none took to it better than the AF1 low. An even more exclusive drop with Futura lasering on the heel would be a bonus.
Nike Lunar Force 1 "Playstation"
Original Air Force 1 Released: 2006
So what if you've got an XBox? The Playstation Air Force 1s retain grail status even amongst those who haven't played a video game since the local pizzeria got rid of their Donkey Kong machine.
Nike Lunar Force 1 "Mita"
Original Air Force 1 Released: 2004
Ostrich and shiny patent? On the same sneaker? Japan's mita sneakers was on that way back in 2004 when most outlandish Air Force 1 schemes were appearing on BAPEs. You're not gonna find these options on NIKEiD.
Nike Lunar Force 1 "Linens"
Original Air Force 1 Released: 2001
When these first dropped, the Linen/Atmosphere lows gave sneakerheads everywhere a new appreciation of pink. They also gave sneakerheads fits as they tried to find Japanese connects.
Nike Lunar Force 1 "Courir"
Original Air Force 1 Released: 2002
Sometimes simple is best. The "Courir" Air Force 1s, with their black upper and crystal-clear bottom, were perfection - and only released in France. Give everyone else a chance.
Nike Lunar Force 1 "Cocoa Snake"
Original Air Force 1 Released: 2001
We'll keep it simple: It's about to be the Year of the Snake, and the "Cocoa Snake" Air Force 1s were one of the best ever. This isn't rocket science.
Nike Lunar Force 1 "atmos"
Original Air Force 1 Released: 2001
Blue and grey have gone together since Hoya Paranoia ran the Big East, and probably before that - word to New Balance. Japan's atmos flipped it lovely on these Forces from 2001, and after a dozen years it's time for a lightweight re-up.
Nike Lunar Force 1 "Acorn"
Original Air Force 1 Released: 2002
Lux without the lux pricetag, the Acorn AF1 lows combined rough canvas with buttery leather in a shoe made for the tropics. B-Grades of these flooded outlets back in 2002 - it's doubtful that would ever happen now.
Nike Lunar Force 1 "112"
Original Air Force 1 Released: 2008
DJ Clark Kent's neon-accented "112" colorway has graced everything from Air Max runners to LeBron's signature joints, but there's nothing more appropriate than an Air Force 1. Wear your kicks.
