OFFICIAL AIR FORCE ONE THREAD!!!!!

[dblplay1212]

To each his own but I feel like there will always be heat, new releases/classic retros, great sales. Not specific for cotm’s on sale but just generally speaking across the board

Agree but that's the best white/white we've gotten in a long time. I feel like they'll go back to the cardboard leather gr and we'll be stuck.

I thought the same but if that happens they don’t deserve 50 pairs worth of my money. I held it to two.

You're a better man than me. I'm weaaak.

I think I copped 2 pairs in each CW. In hindsight I should’ve just gotten 6 pairs of whites.

I stopped wearing AF1's for years because I refused to wear white socks.
That sock liner in the AF1 just isn't built for a colored sock.
It ruins them.
Today, I bought my first pack of white socks in 25+years.
Felt, good I think.

What's wrong with white socks?

 

[206to813]

Sometimes I wonder how many serial killers are Nters

 

[GMatt23]

Just got these orange jewels in….

What's wrong with white socks?

I think it was those cheap *** WHITE, Nylon Style socks I got every year for Xmas as a kid that I hated.
Sweaty *** feet when everyone else was wearing the FAB FIVE black NIKE w/ the Air ForceMAX or the Air Maestro.
When I got a job and bought my own **** I refused to wear White. Even with all WHITE sneakers I rocked a grey, or black.
I just can’t do the Whites.
Well, I’m doing it right now just fine, so…

Just got my orange jewel AF1s in, im glad i got these on sale

 

[andretti]

Nike's been coming correct tbh. Other than true retros of classic af1s, the GRs have been clean. @1978S I remember you were disappointed with the initial 40th anni rollout. Do you think these, the other gum sole joints still upcoming (like dark green), the variety of jewels, the 4 horsemen, and others since the 40th anni have made up for it?

I need

I saw pictures of the "Lotus Flower"/SF Chinatown edition some time recently and really like these! I'm likely in the minority, but I do like the symbolism of strength of the lotus flower and how they used that to represent the strength of the community and what they've been doing, especially with what has been happening during these really questionable times within the past few years of crime there. Could it have been red or gold instead of pink, or had the theme of the entrance? Sure, but I can't really complain. I just feel that seeing these and the Dunks representing SF's Chinatown and its history/community is amazing as it just brings back all the memories of always going there and going to the places there like the temples and the bakeries from when I was little all the way to adulthood.

The Darkside Initiative had a pop-up and I was able to grab my size with the special edition box! I don't know if the box is just a boutique exclusive or SF/Bay Area exclusive. or neither. The little mini-experience was great! Big shout-out to the team there; great people all around. Love the fortune cookies from the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Company; they're so good!

Leather feels very much like the COTM pairs. Was talking to my friend about how the shade of pink reminds me of the pink takeout boxes from those bakeries when it used to be loaded with cocktail buns, pineapple buns, daan tats (egg tarts), and BBQ pork buns.

Some photos I took of the pop-up with a cameo of the "Gold Mountain" Dunk Highs.

EDIT - ate one of the cookies; did not expect this.

These are the best socks I’ve ever owned.

I think he did, wear what he wanted.
Even his reason for not wearing white socks sounds in line with not caring what another man thinks.

What happen to the red cotm on SNKRS? They sold out?

 

[dgoins1]

These in sale yet?

^ Latest pickup!

 

[a-friend]

I picked these up and I didn’t notice the leather wasn’t smooth. They’re “07”.
Is that why?
If I wanted to order more like this instead of the smooth face, what am I looking for in the listing to make sure they’re like this, besides a zooming in on the picture?
These look way better in hand than in the picture and now, I don’t think I’d want the smooth face.
