OFFICIAL AIR FORCE ONE THREAD!!!!!

[jetbl1223]

What pair are those? Don’t think I’ve ever seen them.

 

[vinnuendo]

No way where's the stitching?

Somethibg about the forces is off. It's probably the shape I'm kinda assuming these are at least based on '07s (which I kinda hate).

Pass for now. Maybe the non filtered pics will sell me down the line. I really slept on the first AMM forces and had to pay resell at a later date.

You need to explain.

Midsoles are stitched to the upper on AF1's.

Toe box perforations are different.

Thicker edge piping on the panels.

A Ma Maniere instead of "AIR" on the midsole.

Finally managed to un-ds my Mayor AF1 NikeID' which I copped from UN a few years ago. The day I wear them it rains in good ole London lol.

 

[vinnuendo]

Ya the rolled edges and piping on the AMMs adds some bulk but werd that photo filter is OD

These are from 08, the sticky rubber and the soles were glued and not stitched on these! Or they forgot to stitch my soles…

Wow, don't recall seeing a non-stitched AF1. Thanks.

Thats a sick pair.

Looks like none of them are sticthed. Just Barge Cement them back on and keep going. Got me looking for a 10.5

I know that for one of the goretex dunk SBs (medicom 5 I think), they did the same thing because puncturing the upper for midsole stitching would've compromised the goretex. So I thought it might've been a recent goretex pair but I googled and didn't see any colorway that matched. I see that they're not goretex but still considered waterproof, further evidenced by the gusseted tongue. Dope pair thanks for sharing. Hopefully you can get em glued back up

 

[Girl Thats Jules]

The 2010-2011 Duckboots are glued too, with fake stitching.

Not a lot of AF1s from that era have come unglued, as far as in the sneaker community, so only time will tell if that entire era was glued and had fake stitching.

Maybe only the Forces with weird materials had fake stitching.

 

[vinnuendo]

It should only be the ones that were waterproof because if the uppers were punctured with stitching, they wouldn't be.

I haven't purchased an AF1 NBY this year, but I saw this post from Rooog Knows and just made the same pair. Clean pair IMO.

I hope they arrive while the weather is still decent.

 

[phemom]

The app makes them look a lot worse

1. These are nice.
2. No toothbrush or graphic paper
3. Smh at not getting a all white gum cotm

 

[panaricanretro]

I agree with all of this. These are dope. Possibly my favorite COTM besides the all-white pair. But yeah, I got these and the white/red/gum pair both from end, and these are the only cotm's I've gotten with no toothbrush.

Nike, please... white/gum COTM's would make a lot of lives complete

 

[domogotsole]

I have been wearing these for about a week. They are from 07. The glue just started to give way and looks like a tiny bit of powder. The stitches seem to be holding it together but if it’s just glue, I’ll report back.

Birthday pick ups.

Probably should have grabbed another pair or 2 of white/reds while they were 20% off. Would have been 4 pair for $210ish shipped but that felt greedy.

Really like the photo blue GRs in hand. Matches my Lions stuff perfectly.

Green/gum leather seems a little better than the other COTMs to me.

 

[1978S]

Yeah, the "lighter" shade of gum on the Green pair loos SOOOO good.

Sad to let them go, but they were sitting untouched for 19 years.
