Air Force 1s are known for a roomy fit, and many people go half a size down from their usual size, especially if they have narrow feet. If you have wide feet, your normal size will usually be the most comfortable. Check our sizing guide if you are unsure.
They are comfortable for everyday wear thanks to the Air unit in the sole and the padded collar, though they are heavier and firmer than a running shoe. The leather softens after a few wears, so they feel better once broken in.
It comes down to the collar height. The Low is the everyday classic, the Mid adds an ankle strap and a little more support, and the High has the tallest collar and a longer strap. They all share the same sole and leather build.
Bruce Kilgore designed the Air Force 1 in 1982, and it was the first basketball shoe to use Nike Air cushioning. It has been in production in some form ever since, which makes it one of the longest-running sneakers ever made.
Some of the most sought-after include the Off-White pairs by Virgil Abloh, the Louis Vuitton editions, Travis Scott's Sail colourway, the Supreme box logo pairs and the Tiffany & Co. release. These limited pairs sit alongside the classic Triple White and Triple Black.
Wipe the leather with a soft brush and a mild sneaker cleaner, and avoid the washing machine, which can damage the glue. Crease guards or shoe trees help the toe box hold its shape. A quick clean after each wet or muddy day stops dirt setting into the midsole.
