It is a great shoe. Feels good on my feet as I have plantar fasciitis. The bottom does not cut into my instep or any part of my souls. I wish all Nikes fit like this, I would buy more. Great shoe for anyone who likes the flat shaped bottom look & still have style.

Absolutely love them, easily the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn

These are my first pair of AF1s and everyone suggested I spend the extra $ for the Crafts. I ordered a pair of custom AF1s (non-Craft) that are coming in a few weeks, so I can't compare these to the normal AF1s yet in terms of everyday wear, but I absolutely LOVE these. They are so clean, the leather is so high quality, they are so comfortable to wear all the time, I have literally zero complaints. I've had them for a week and I'm hooked, whenever I wear these things out in a few years I am 100% buying another pair.

Great quality Air Force 1

After copping the all white pair with the grey suede heel tab for $120, I was expecting high things from a seemingly ordinary looking pair of white on white AF1s. Needless to say, this pair did not disappoint, but there are still a few quirks that I would like resolved.Firstly, this pair is probably one of the best quality AF1s I’ve had in hand. The leather is very soft, tumbled, and “wrinkly”, and creases far better than the “pleather” found on the $90 pairs. I was also impressed by the upgraded insole which to me feels a bit more plush, as well as the liner used in the heel area which is softer and more smooth. The iridescent silver dubrae is a nice touch as well. The laces also seem more premium given their rubberized metal tips and almost stretchy nylon ... MoreAfter copping the all white pair with the grey suede heel tab for $120, I was expecting high things from a seemingly ordinary looking pair of white on white AF1s.

The iridescent silver dubrae is a nice touch as well. The laces also seem more premium given their rubberized metal tips and almost stretchy nylon material. I could’ve done without the rough grey suede, but it’s nice quality and doesn’t take away from the shoe.Now as to what I didn’t like is that my right shoe has excess fabric in the inside heel area which has bunched up; it’s not uncomfortable but just an aesthetic thing and expected better in terms of QC. In addition, the sneaker itself is still chunky and the toe box is just as boxy as the $90 pair. I guess I thought that since this was the “Craft” version, it would have a more streamlined and aerodynamic re-crafted toe box similar to the OG pairs. I also noticed that the tongue is made of a nylon material which isn’t bad, but I would appreciate it if it was a bit softer and the branding was more prominent.One thing to note is that the Craft pair seems to run TTS. I compared them to my other 9.5 AF1s and the 9.5 in the Craft version feels much more snug and there is an ever so slight difference in the length as well. So no need to go a half size down in my opinion!Overall, I am pretty impressed by these shoes. I think many people don’t value quality and can’t seem to justify the $30 increase for the Craft version hence almost all color ways of the shoes not being sold out and even going under retail. I think Nike should charge $115 for the Crafts to attract more people. Now I am patiently waiting for a triple black Craft AF1 with and iridescent silver dubrae and silver lace tips! Please make that happen Nike!

It's worth it.

The quality of the leather itself and the extra-cushioned insole alone make up for the small increase in price. Though I hesitated on older pairs, the sail and orange-red (I would compare the color to more of a Mars red) suede hits combined pulled at my attention immediately. The fit is identical to the non-Craft AF1 - if you usually go true to size, then go true to size. I personally wouldn't recommend sizing down unless you lace your shoes loosely. The padded insole pushes your foot up a bit closer to the fabric. I went true to size (Men's 12) and the shoe was a little roomy but not too much. Personally I prefer a looser fit but if that's not your thing then maybe go a size down.Based on the flex tests I performed on the shoe, the leather does not seem to crease ... MoreThe quality of the leather itself and the extra-cushioned insole alone make up for the small increase in price.

Personally I prefer a looser fit but if that's not your thing then maybe go a size down.Based on the flex tests I performed on the shoe, the leather does not seem to crease at all when the toebox is bent - much like the cheaper GR AF1 is infamous for. Instead of an unsightly crease, the smooth, buttery, pebbled leather bounces back to its original shape almost instantaneously.Speaking of bounce, the comfort on these compared to regular Forces cannot be understated. The combination of the insole, air unit, and stable outsole make for what is, in my opinion, the perfect level of comfort. I've owned the primary sole tech of the other brand with the stripes, (i'll call it "Speed") and to me it is cushioned, but unstable. While jumping on a mattress is fun, walking on it is not. This shoe allows me to feel firmly planted on the ground while simultaneously avoiding the feeling of hitting the bare pavement.These are going to be my daily shoes for a while.If you're looking for a new pair of Forces, but want something a step up from your run of the mill triple white AF1, go for these. If you're still reading this review then you obviously want these. Just get them. You won't regret it.

Love this pair!

Great shoe, got it on my birthday. Super comfortable the moment I wore them, The cushions inside the shoe makes me love walking on these. The quality of the leather is good. Runs a bit big but I always wear them with thick socks and it fits great.

Pebbled Leather 🏆

So a few years back I got the all star weekend Velcro forces, they are nice, but nothing really special, just some forces, now THESE are something else. Never thought they’d be able to simplify the af1 but man they did a good job, the leather is very soft, creases so much better, the shoe itself is less stiff, and the suede on the heel is such a pretty touch.

These are the best pair of white on white AF1’s period!

These are the best pair of AF1’s I've ever purchased and i’ve been collecting shoes since 1987. The extra $30 are well worth it. Beautiful soft buttery leather, even the cushion is way better compared to regular pair. Go true to size on these. More cushion & better leather so they don’t run big like the regular AF1’s.

Upper is more premium but it doesn't fit well and outsole is already gone after 1 wear.

Aesthetically better and more comfortable than the 07, but it fits half a size bigger. I only wore it once to downtown Chicago and there's already visible tread wear on the "stars" outsole. As much as I love the shoes, I have to return them. My old 07s lasted for 4 years without any visible "damage" except for the creases.

best all around Nike I have owned in a while...

Don't judge me but this is the FIRST AF1 I HAVE EVER OWNED. I know. I know. I know. What broke me down to grab a pair now? Personally, curiosity. I went to an outdoor concert last month and literally so the majority of up and coming bands have at least one person wearing them. So, I was like let me check these out if they are making a comeback. Low and behold, I tried the OG as well and the Craft and must recommend that bump up in price is worth it. PERIOD That out of the way, let me CliffsNotes a review right quick. My TTS is a 10 but my Nike size is a 10.5. I purchased BOTH the 10 and 10.5 because all I hear about is to "size down." The 10 is the size I kept and love it. Comfortable with no needed time to break-in. Furthermore, I just got back from travel and it ... MoreDon't judge me but this is the FIRST AF1 I HAVE EVER OWNED.

Additional colorways will be added to my collection and should be revisited if you've taken a pause from the silhouette.
