2005 U.S. Hoops Edition

This week on Air Force Friday with Dr. Greg Grovey, we take it back to the early 2000s with a standout pair from Nike’s patriotic lineup: the 2005 U.S. Hoops Air Force 1. Bold, nostalgic, and packed with USA pride, this pair is a time capsule of Olympic spirit and streetwear relevance.

🧠 From the Founder: Dr. Greg’s 730 Days of AF1s

If you haven’t been following the journey, Dr. Greg Grovey is in the midst of a 730-day challenge to wear a different pair of Air Force 1s every single day.
