OFFICIAL AIR FORCE ONE THREAD!!!!!

i fully understand and admit my own personal bias towards older af1s; however, i cannot even stomach how horrendous those autoclave "forces" look. they don't even belong in a thread for the air force 1 :x :x :x :x :x :x

JOints are trash b, and low key sacrilegious to the AF1 line... Not sure how its even selling out, much less having any traction on this board. SMH.

Any word on a NDC release for the PIGALLE collab? I'm really feeling the clothing... Need the highs... TOO TUFF!!
 
i got an email about those af1 ac releasing a while back and payed them no mind, dont even consider them forces really..

here's some cork ids i found on ebay.. not my pics..
 
This Pigalle fiasco has me a little hurt.

If anyone of my NTers has the plug on them, I NEED a 14, but will settle for a 13.

Help a brother locate some. And I dont have Twitter. Do I need that to be up on releases?

I think you guys are being way too critical. All nike did was turn a big bulky (and heavy) 80's shoe into something more streamlined that can be worn as a lifestyle shoe. thats right up my alley in my older age, plus theres a huge market for those types of shoes now. Im surprised they were able to do something like this and have it look this good. Im honestly more impressed than when the lunarforces came out.

I guess you're right with all the kids rocking vans these days

I just can't do it

I guess everything goes in cycles. I remember when the nike canvas joints were popular in the early 90s

The acs are just those reincarnated. The strap up sandals might be next :lol:

That's just the typical AF1 thread response to anything that's not an OG silhouette. [emoji]128164[/emoji][emoji]128164[/emoji][emoji]128164[/emoji]
It's a nice shoe. Way better than the downtowns.
 
Copped pigalle 1 highs this morning on Undftd. 240 shipped. Anyone know what retail was for the highs.

I guess what it comes down to is considering this an AF1.

On it's own, it's whatever.

To many real AF1 heads (most of which are indeed old), they're just a bastardization.

Nobody would care if they just didn't market them under the AF1 umbrella.
 
Kicks Hi had a full size run, including the hard to find size 14, yesterday. Try calling them.

Repped BIP. Nike's been hustling 'generic' vulcanized sole sneakers for years now - they inevitably end up hitting the outlets en masse. Now they call it 'Air Force 1' and all of a sudden cats are ready to rock 'em with suits. Dunno who's to blame here, Nike for bastardizing the AF1 or the consumer for purchasing crud like this.
