Why are Nike Air Force 1 women’s sneakers so popularWomens Nike Air Force One sneakers are such a retro Y2K style that fits into the Y2K aesthetic that’s trending right now. It’s not just in the US that they’re back on the scene but the UK, Europe and pretty much everywhere and a celeb favorite.  Fashion Editors from Who What Wear, Marie Claire and all have it on their best white sneakers for 2023 edits too! So if you want something fashion forward and that’s trending, the all white womens Air Force 1 is the classic that’s having a big moment right now. So you’ll definitely catch me stomping in my Air Force 1’s this year (sorry I couldn’t resist). The Air Force 1 Has Earned Its Status As A Sneaker Icon…Classic Construction, Tough Nature & Built To Last Nike Do Nike Air Force 1 womens sneakers run big, small or true to sizeMost sites will tell you to size down half a size in AF1’s. However I ended up sizing down a whole size. I normally take a size 7-7.5 in Nike but after the 7 and 6.5 were both too big I ended up ordering a size 6 and they fit perfectly. Are Nike Air Force 1 for women comfortable?Most leather sneakers aren’t comfortable straight out of the box. There always seems to a breaking in period with leather uppers until the crease is there. So definitely wear socks to avoid getting blisters on the first wear. Once they’re broken in, this style is known for their comfort and that’s what’s mentioned the most in reviews. I’ve only tried the Nike Air Force 1 ’07 style so can’t talk about if the other styles of the AF1 are comfortable are not but since they have the same cushioning they should be. What’s the best style to get in the womens Nike Air Force 1 sneakers?Honestly, it all comes down to personal style and preference. I’m not a high top person so prefer the low cur styles. I can see how people end up with huge sneaker collections though Nike keeps doing so many new releases. This year already has me wanting the new Nike/Tiffany Nike Air Force 1 1837, 50 Years of Hip-Hop white, grey (that looks metallic silver), cream tone and black pair and fully customizable pair with pink and white accents. As well as the Jacquemus J Force 1 sneakers which look a lot more expensive than they are. They come in orange, black and white but it’s the white ones I have my eye on. As they’re a lot sleeker than the original AF1’s and have the coolest lace sole detailing. Along with a smaller low key silver-tone swoosh at the sides and embossed Jacquemus logo at the heel. What’s the difference between the Air Force 1 LXX Serena, Shadow, and ’07If you’re torn on which women’s Nike Air Force 1 sneakers to get here’s a comparison chart. Most of it will come down to personal style as they all have Nike cushioning and the iconic star studded bumper. The AF1 re-edition ’07 is probably the most classic Air Force 1 but the others all are cool in their own way.

Plain white is the most versatile and classic but there’s also lots of different colors if that’s more your vibe. What’s great about Nike is that their pricing is fair for the quality and construction. You’re not just paying for the name or a logo, not that I don’t love a good logo! If you’re unsure of your size, order a few like I did from Nordstroms. Both Nordstrom and Revolve offer free shipping and returns.

Most expensive Nike Air Force 1’s releaseThere’s been lots of Nike collaborations over the years and these are some of the most expensive styles they’ve ever released. Including: Are Nike Air Force 1 07 shoes comfortable?How comfortable is the Air Force 1? Nike has enhanced the Air Force 1 model over the last few years, and I would say the comfort is around an 8/10. Admittedly, they can sometimes feel a little heavy if you're wearing them throughout an entire day. Is there a difference between Air Force 1 and Air Force 1 07?The main difference between the AF1 and AF1 '07 is visible in the shoe sole, materials and fashion. For instance, the sole on the '07 is just slightly higher. Whereas the AF1 deliberately opted for a classic basketball look, so no fuss, the AF1 '07 did opt for different materials. How do the Nike Air Force 1 07 fit?The Air Force 1 fits true to size. If your feet are narrow, you may find the Air Force 1 a tad roomy if you have narrow feet; conversely, you may find the Air Force 1s a tad tight if you have wide feet. Additionally, you'll do well to note that the Air Force Mids and Highs fit tighter than the Air Force 1 Low. Is Air Force 1 worth buying?Yes, Nike Air Force 1 is definitely on the costlier side because of its extreme comfort and durability. But people pay for it and Nike ensures that customers are happy with the purchase. I have tried Air Force 1 in the basketball sessions and believe me no other shoes matched it. It offers exceptional rebound. |
