Air forces. OG chucks weren't seen as fashion like Air Force 1s were.

Forces were already big then

Chucks been big since like the 60s and 70s maybe even older

Chucks...worn and accepted by both black and white people. Went from THE basketball shoe and the US Olympic's team wearing them to the military wearing a version of them...Now we even have the CDG chucks 70+ years later
