Since the 25th anniversary it's been ALL down hill
Recently?
Nike has been effin' up Forces for a minute now, although I'll admit they HAVE gotten marginally better over the past couple of years. But then you compare the best from the past couple of years to 7 or 8 years ago and reality comes crashing down on you again.
I think that was like 05 or 06 that was the year of the World Cup forces and pixies and frankenstiens and all that
at the patent years. I'll admit I was caught up....had the first Halloweens, both Easters, the white/graphite gray Asia exclusive joints, Cartoons, Sheeds, etc. To this day I still remember plotting where to grab the Halloweens with the homie illphil via AIM on the Sidekick. 
^ Yeah, now that I think about it more, you might be right about '04 being the last solid year. What year did the Portlands, Waterpoof lows and the butter soft all leather brown joints (desert clays I think?) come out?
I just remember there being this really solid run of attainable AF1s and then it all went to crap. This was back when hazardshoes.com was the spot to grab overseas joints.
And
Some of those are dope to this day, but looking back at it, I looked foolish as hell with some Easter egg shoes on.

I did look doofy as hell with a WHOLE FIT (Polo Bear T-shirt included) matching the second Easters. I even had a Lavender Members Only jacket to top it off. |I I remember the exact moment I realized I was doing the most and sold the Easter's the next week.

Yeah the novelty of the patents were good, as was the design. I guess my tastes just changed because I wouldn't be caught dead wearing some of the pairs I used to rock on the regular back then. The only patent pair that I really regret selling is the Cartoon joints--those were executed impeccably, IMO.

I had the Patent low Sheeds with the blue toe and the patent black and white Sheed highs. I even have a pic of my daughter when she was a baby trying to walk around in them.
Looking back at all of the dope pairs that I no longer have, simply because I thought that NIKE would never stop dropping dope Air Force 1's kind of makes me sick.A quick R.I.P to some fallen soldiers.
Brown and White Escape lows
Black and White Escape lows
Italian Lux Highs (Black)
Maple and Birch lows (dat leather)
Inside out Lazer Mids (nature of communication)
And there was a dark cinder pair with wool on them and they came with some burlap looking laces and a pair of silky flat laces. I can't remember the name of them, but they were dope too.
Wishing I still had them all.
Damn.
