Doesnt suprise me honestly.Make it cheaper and raise the cost too the consumer,seems the American way anymore
This is being done everywhere and it's crazy
Shrinkflation is alive and well
Public companies should be considered low quality because by law they need to always maximize profits regardless of the quality of the product.
The sponsor of this video is the main perpetrator of this problem lmao it's the place where people go to sell their overpriced goods at 4x msrp 🤦♂️ they actively encourage it
And I doubt that the video creator even realized it when he took the sponsorship lol you have to be into sneakers and collectables to really know how much people hate stockx
@@onepoh4680 That's complete nonsense. Toyota is famed for the durability and resilience of its vehicles, and it is a public company.
The audio syncing issue should be resolved soon!
Nike is the Hublot of Sneakers (nowadays).Nike put Style over function, quality, durability, tec and one thing as shoemaker really piss me off, the possibility to repair these shoes (Nike general). Buy New Balance or Ascis Tiger! Big up from Germany you make a great Job!
I thought there was something wrong with my phone.
yeah that was killing me dude
Please cut and test Anderson bean boots
Please Alden shoes please!
I just discovered your channel not that long ago. It’s nice to see people actually see if a shoe is quality, most reviewers just repeat marketing jargon/bs. Never seen a channel break down these sneakers like this before. I actually learned alone about shoes construction and leathers because of you.
Yeah since most review channels talk about surface level features. This boy does a fucking autopsy on shoes and boots.
Hate how Nike is marketing and playing into the very stupid “don’t crease your Jordans/Air Forces” trend. Cmon people they’re SHOES, AND ORIGINALLY AN ATHLETIC SHOE AT THAT. They’re meant to be shown love by actually wearing them and putting some miles in them. Hypebeasts and resell culture is ruining the true sneaker culture.
Also, $30 more for the same shoe but less real leather. That’s such a rip-off, even coming from Nike.
i crease my travis aj, ow af1, i dont care. shoes are meant to be worn and the only reason people are not wearing them is because they are afraid of the shoe losing its value at reselling, how can anyone be proud of that?
@@user-mw4em7mu6u yup, exactly. I'll never understand the way these typical hypebeasts and resellers think hahaha.
It's sneaker culture and has been for decades. If you want to wear creased up kicks more power to you but some people really care about hiw their shoes look. Its not a crime.
@@abnormpsych17 you're probably a white new school shoe head living in the suburbs that worships urban culture and their shoes lol
i know you're only 13, but not wanting creases in your sneakers has been a thing since the 80's. It's literally been a part of "true sneaker culture" since its inception.
I had a customer refuse to buy leather school shoes because, "They wrinkle and crease really badly."
I was absolutely done.
Thinking rigid PU "leather" holds up better than softie leather that you can polish and apply dubbin to.
The fact they made most of the shoe into plastic is appalling. Plastic is not breathable.
you can tell people have never have worn actual leather shoes, shit doesn't really crease...
New Balance is better.
Avia is better.
Feet are designed to bend. It's biology. For people to bitch about creasing their shoes can get bent.
@@overtheatlas have I been lied to?
I have some timberland leather sneakers that have been everywhere that creased
@@PhantomFilmAustralia right? The only solution is to make a flexible bend point that returns to its original shape
Great work. Thank you for this. We need more people/groups like you who are able and willing to call out these BIG companies and their totally false marketing claims!
Nike wanted to increase the bottom line on 1’s so the used cheaper materials and stuck fresh on the label to take their share of Hip-Hop culture.
Make them cheaper, increase the price, sell them with hype culture. Make creased sneakers a sign of being broke and pressure customers to constantly buy new pairs of sneakers to maintain the "fresh" image.
I wish this tactic wasn't so successful and massively profitable.
@@Bodudus welcome to nikes advertising division, Tom will show you to your desk. 😂😂😂
"culture"
That's why there are people who buy fake Nikes and Jordans. It's not that the fakes became good. It's that the real ones are being downgraded to the point of being similar to the fake.
@@citizenkane2349 What is that supposed to mean?
As someone who been rocking AF1s before they even became a thing talking nearly 30 years. The greatness stops at the looks, they are some of the most uncomfortable and unpractical sneakers I’ve ever worn.
You probably had exact size if it would’ve been half a size down or full size they would’ve been cool 💯
You're a style over substance guy I'd take it then
I've never tried a paire on but they look very uncomfortable obviously. People care more about the look than the comfort and quality. Go on, bunch of empty shells.
Interesting. For me, AF1s are actually pretty comfy for a casual sneaker. A little chonky, but comfy. I do however go half size up due to flat foot.
Why have you been rocking them for 30 years then? That sounds bizarre to me.
I have been wearing AF1's for years and yet i actually learned quite a few things in this video! Aweomse job man, love your videos !
Staying with the OG ones then! Thanks brotha this video was so informative and bad ass!
Thank you for your service! I've made it a habit to check your videos if I'm buying a shoe or thinking about a model.
Hopefully Nike (or any brand) doesn't hound you down for testing their claims.
These videos are valuable. I haven't seen boot/shoe reviews quite like you're doing it. I dont even wear boots but as an engineer, i love seeing cutaway views of basically everything so this scratches the itch haha. Cheers from Houston
Thanx for putting these under deep scrutiny! Good info!
I absolutely love these videos. Keep growing and doing what you do!
I was thinking the other day it'd be so cool if they actually release classic sneakers like AF1 and Adidas Forum High in genuine premium quality.
I actually like creasing, btw., even fake leather creases can look kinda cool up to a point, but I definitely prefer the more slow and even creasing on higher quality leather that isn't covered up.
in 2003 they released a series of italian leather handmade AF1s and some with a saddle leather. Retail was like 750-1000
I agree
what about forum 84s? been thinking bout getting them
Thats why i stopped wearing nike. Everytime i buy a pair the leather is trash. Adidas leather is usually better imo. New balance seems to have better quality leather, especially if you buy their USA made sneakers.
@@sanders_md i remember that. They had gold shoe lace tips. I think they had some crocodile leather releases too.
Great video and glad you called out the "Fresh" pair for something that is just truly inevitable! I remember reading the product description and knew it was a load of crap.
There's a new anniversary version called the "Color of the Month" in dedication to the "3 Amigos" who saved the AF1s. Would be great if you can break down the all-white version of those to see if the quality is truly better!
Love you're vids man. Keep up the good work.
Nice video, love the leather breakdown and knowledge, most other TH-camrs will say the leather is good or bad just depending on the thickness and softness, but you go into thorough detail on why the leather is a good or bad grade. Definitely pays to know what you're talking about, keep up the good work!
When I looked at the promotino pictures of these I was literally so confused because the leather looked just like the shitty normal airforce leather. This is so disappointing... but Im glad to know I was right
Hey just a heads up, if you are looking for a quality leather shoe - I'm not sure why you are buying Nike Air Jordans. These are disposable cheap sneakers compared to high quality leather dress sneakers.
@@JayandSarah It’s because they don’t want to wear dress shoes they want to rock cool street wear
Love the history of the AF1 portion. Your videos have changed over time. I originally fell in love with the pure performance nature of your videos but the cultural aspect is what gets me to watch products that I'd never buy, at least I now know why some people are so into than. Thanks!
Man, your channel has GROWNNNNNnnn since I started Subbing. Congratulations 🎉 you deserve it for sure
Great video dude! Thanks for what u are doing!!!
I'd been considering whether to shell out an extra A$50 for the Fresh or stick to regular AF1s and thought 'man, I wish Weston would make a video about these'! Thanks for your services 🙏
they both still smell like child tears
The Fresh are so bad it's funny
Your welcome.
Just don't buy Nike. They are way overpriced and garbage.
So, what did you ended up buying?
The tumbled leather used on the Air Force 1 SE 07 was probably my favorite for being soft, flexible and hiding creases was great. However it doesn’t have that classic smooth Air Force look.
The suede Air Forces are pretty neat too.
Awesome video bringing awareness and shown care for the shoes to the customers/viewers, good job!
O.g versions are way better for long term with your proves and analyses.
As someone who wears AF1’s, the best advice I can give is #1 get your correct size as this makes a huge difference to minimize creasing. #2 loosen up the laces and don’t wear them choked up lol. #3 invest in shoe trees and place them inside the shoes after every wear.
how does a shoe tree make a difference can you explain please?
@@Sv35511 Keeps the leather stretched and prevents creases. This has been used for decades by cowboys for their boots.
@@TheCOWBOYRANCHER cool
@@Sv35511shoe tree is equivalent to wearing the shoe when your not wearing it keeping its shape and form nice and sturdy while your not wearing them
best advice is to not buy a plastic shoe
I've never understood the whole don't crease your sneakers (but I'm old and understand leather is supposed to crease), but Nike should be embarrassed... but I'm sure they're not. Keep exposing these brands Weston.
"Don't crease your sneakers" is a re-seller thing. If the sneakers are creased theres less resale value because they've been worn. I've also seen people put shrink wrap on the soles of their shoes to try and hide the fact they were wearing the shoes so they can resell them.
Props for saving so many people from having to waste the money and find out themselves
Rose anvil is so dope I love When he goes in depth with all the history definitely learn a lot and he knows what he’s talking about
Keep doing your job bro, I was trying to upgrade my old pair of AF1 and was thinking in this newer "fresh" pair but you help me avoid the extra cost.
I've never understood the aversion to toebox creasing. That's what happens when leather bends, whether it's my Alden boots or Nike AF1s. I like creasing. It adds your own unique character to the shoe. A roadmap of personal travels. I can't imagine wearing leather shoes while simultaneously trying to avoid creasing them. Sounds miserable! Why not just wear different material?
To me, creasing only looks good on good leather. Airforce creasing just looks disgusting to me tbh
he literally tells you, its a flex to show you dont have creases. for those with more money, it says "all my shoes are new". the only people who worry about creasing are the people who wear shoes more than once that want to APPEAR to wear only new shoes
@@sanders_md I disagree. Some people just don’t like creasing
@@sanders_md the vast majority of people doing that, can hardly pay their car note. That mentality is the mentality poors have.
@@sanders_md I watched the video before commenting and saw that part too. I know why some people do whatever they can to avoid creasing the leather on their sneakers, but that's not the same thing as understanding it.
As a soccer player, wearing K-leather cleats is some of the best things you can do. Mizuno is probably the best company for high quality, comfortable leather cleats but they are pricey. (Retail $320). I have no issues when they crease, it shows I wear them.
Crazy to me that Mizuno is so expensive haha. Back when I was a kid, they were known as a budget brand.
@@spartanB0292 I know. Even though they don't get as much awareness, they still can sell most of their products. Even more than Nike, and Adidas.
This is awesome. I love channels like you who break down (literally) the value of products!
This was awesome. Really hq content, thank you for your hard work.
I was really thinking of buying the Fresh ones, but that fake leather on everything is just awful. Thank you for always bringing the knowledge to the people!!!
Videos like these just keep reaffirming why I haven't bought any Nike shoes for a few decades. A once great brand sinking further down the drain for profits
Commenters like you are the only negative thing about this channel.
i bought one pair back in middle school when i thought they were cool and i was into the whole "hip hop culture." with the baggy pants and oversized shirts. Thank god i grew out of that lol, it does not look good on a skinny white guy. I still listen to old school hip hop (the new stuff sucks) but my main shoes nowadays are just the regular hi top chuck taylors. Very comfortable, canvas so they're breathable, and cheap. What more could you ask for? Any kind of color you would want. I like the all-black hi tops.
Used to wear nikes wimbledons, the first air max, now no more
Nike shoes are pretty calm on sale. Ordered some hello kitty prestos for half off today
Exactly my last pair of Nike got worn-out in 4 weeks of walking, just regular walking 😂, junk at a premium.
We need more of this !!! in my subjective experience lately feel like Nike have lower quality than before.
Again, great video that drops knowledge on the materials, internals, tech, construction and history...things that escape hypebeasts but are always appreciated by actual sneakerheads and design enthusiasts.
The only knock is the sponsor...they've been in the middle of some drama concerning their legitimacy, and what better way to earn back some cred than to attach themselves to an up and coming reliable and trustworthy channel? Careful.
I love the unbiased review you do on shoes. Thank you so much for exposing the BS .
Unbiased shoe review😆😆😆tell me about it🤯
This is great! I’d love to hear what Nike would say to this. They really make some shitty stuff sometimes. The Air Trainer 1 I had to buy 5 pairs to find one decent shoe
I am just get a pair of Air force 1 yesterday and this is what I wanna know about the leather stuff especially the front top. Really thanks for the test and review. 🙏👍🏻
This is why I watch your channel. I would love to see your take on 511 tactical boots some day
Y’know Nike could just release a legit premium version with legit high quality materials and price them at like $300+ and probably sell a ton of them.
Or they could release the exact same Pakistan/Vietnam made version, tell people it’s premium, charge them like $300, and make 4x the profit.
@@Jonathan_Doe_ This is why we can't have nice things
Sneakers going for anything over 100$ is sheer looting of the public intellect.... Pure waste of money....
300? What are you smoking
no they wouldn’t sell a lot. not that many people care about quality that much. otherwise those regular af1, aj1 etc wouldn’t sell as they are
Keep exposing them !!! Nike has become hot garbage it's truly sad how downhill they went
At this point they are just greedy mofos. Last time I bought a pair of shoes from them was more than a decade ago. I just buy occasionally socks and underwear when I see they got good offers, but they are also sh*tty polyester plastic. I got a pair of Adidas ozwegos 2 years ago and man, they hold like crazy even if they are made of pure plastic, they are durable af.
What are you talking about ?!? Nikes are at their prime rn
Dunks, AF1, Jordans, and Air Max’s have dope color ways
@@ulyssesruvalcaba2251 They are at their prime cause they overhype them with commercials all over the place music industry, sports industry etc. For the amount of money they sell their shi*ty products compared to their quality plastic fake leather garbage, they are waaaay too overpriced. I bet the cost to make a pair of airforces is not more than 10-15 bucks, yet they sell it 10 times more. 10-15 bucks might be even a lot.
@@ulyssesruvalcaba2251 lmao ok kiddo
This was a really nice history tutorial of a Nike shoe, thanks! Much better than I thought it would be considering I don’t really care about Nike. 🙃
Great video, but most people who care about the creasing would wear either pair with some type sneaker shield. So I'm curious if the small differences maybe somehow work better with the sneaker shields to make less noticeable creasing
I doubted the alleged improved breathability and the reduced creasing since I first saw them but was playing with the idea of getting these anyway, but I was waiting in hope that you'd review them and you guys just saved me from wasting my money on these. Thanks and keep doing what you're doing! I hope this goes viral so that you guys get the recognition you deserve and Nike finally gets some well deserved flag for this and the other crap they've been pulling lately.
Dtzgg
New Balance quality trump’s Nikes by a large margin. I’m glad you do these videos to help us make informed decisions on purchases
F Donald Trump bro! Why u making this political??
Only the made in usa or UK shoes tho.
@@takumiboujeewara616 at least they offer that, Nike doesn’t have any made in USA/England option. Also, the 2002r made in China are solid
ya nike doesn’t care anymore since they’ve been the at the top for so long
Thanks and appreciate your real effort
These types of reviews are helpful . I always shied away from the a.f.1 's and now I see why 😂
Honestly might just consider buying replica's Tbh I only bought Air Jordan or Nike for the All leather type of experience.. but finding out they can't do that and raise the price at a higher retail is just pathetic.. Thanks Rose for showing me where my money should actually go to keep it up🔥
Replica AF1s? No sir, y’all just don’t know how to wear ones.
You won’t find better materials with replicas. They’ll be worse 100% guaranteed. They also have terrible rubber compounds that flex way too much and provide zero stability. Not to mention buying from replicas supports organized crime out there like drugs and sex trafficking.
If original airforces are shit, then the airforce replicas are going to be ultra shit
@@aqvx_9229 if og forces are shit, and heavily disposable, why spend 110 dollars on a pair of shit shoes if you can spend 30 on a pair of equally shit shoes?
@@grqfes i really can't agree more...i hope more people will buy reps and make nike realize that they need to either bump up their AF1 quality or just lower the price down a lot...cuz they are shit...
I thought the first AF1 had a breathable mesh panel on the outside sides.
StockX might want to consider getting into heritage boots. Could be a great platform for the community.
I recently got a pair of white gum bottom AF1. I refused to wear them until I shoe trees for them and I tried some bick 4 before I wore them. Surprisingly, it actually made the leather a little softer and and i feel like between conditioning and shoe trees absolutely helped with the creasing because I rememver how bad they creased when i was a kid.
I bought many different types and the fresh are actually my favorites ones. They are truly the whitest pair with an extra pair of shoe laces and they stay clean wayyyy longer than regular forces. If you know, you know.
I had been buying Nike off and on for about 40 yrs. Only 1 pair that was actually made of high quality, I bought just over 20 yrs ago. After 3 years of daily wear, the leather never separated, creased, nor cracked. The inner sole never collapsed. The outer sole consisted of circular grooves throughout in gum. Eventually the soles wore down. They were called Max Air but were different than the 95s and Nike never continued the shoe. I guess it was too expensive to make.
They dont want to sell shoes that last. Need more sales
Basically another thing to add to list of times Nike sold worse materials for more money
Pretty much every sportswear company is doing this. Adidas is arguably worse
I am so glad I found this video, had so many doubts regarding AF1s quality, definitely not going buy them
The utilitarian in me is so happy I found this channel
Should compare the Nike AF1 craft version compared to these two. I have the craft version it’s more tumbled “leather” so it’s softer and creases less but still does
Please look into what is going on with StockX and selling fakes etc. I love your show and hope you care about promoting good companies.
Man I would love to see the adapt auto max cut up and checked out by you! Would definitely be interesting to hear your thoughts on the rather uncommon materials used.
The Crease thing started way before the 2000's we've been stuffing socks in our shoes to keep them from creasing for years man I started doing that in the late '80s
Being a guy that doesn't like Nike at all, seeing those sneakers being abused and cut in half just to probe they are just plain BS is soooooo satisfying
Yes fr
Why u no like nike

I would never buy Nike regardless.
I appreciate your video content.
The product information you share can really save money to us consumers.
First time ever watching a video about sneakers. Pretty fascinating. I knew there's people crazy about them, but I had no idea that they move in a specific way so they don't crease their shoes. Must be kinda exhausting to keep that in mind all the time. But hey, whatever floats your boat.
This is further proof that so many companies are consumed with profit margins as opposed to caring about the customer and the product they sell.
I heard a lot about AF1 and bought a pair (from a real shop) some time ago.
Worst shoes I've ever had (and that's saying a lot. I am not spending big money on shoes!).
So stiff and uncomfortable.
After 3 months of regular walking, the sole was worn out and letting water in.
The leather looked terrible.
The shoe inside stinks (and I have relatively dry feet).
The whole thing turned me off Nike.
I have Adidas, much older, which I use for Basketball and they are still intact and looking OK and don't smell.
Its crazy how adidas dont smell, id been buying nike all my life as well as cheap shoes like korean kinda shoes anyway I thought it was me and as soon as i bought adidas the smell is gone like wtf man
@@nn-hx8oe It's the cheap glues that Nike use, my Jordan 1s smell terrible
@@nn-hx8oe my Adidas stink like piss, my made in Italy leather uvex safety shoes are sound
Wow I thought I was the only one that had the water problem. Perforated after like 5 months of wear.
Sounds like you maybe got fakes possibly. Mine always hold up like tanks and are pretty comfy. And I want want to give a tip for anyone reading this. If you ever get shoe smell, drop some of those silica packs you get from different random products in each one. It will 100% remove smell and kill all odor bacteria.
Doing gods work
Really great job!
I've had at least 5 pairs of AF1s and never a leather pair! I only bought the Canvas editions and suede. The upper last a lot longer and looks good longer. Now the best thing Nike did with the AF1s was add the Lunarlon sole for the AF1 Lunar. Those not only look great but the midsole is very comfortable and doesn't turn into yellow bricks over the years.
I love my sneakers the more worn out they get, the more character they develop. They start storytelling from nights away and adventures
Bruh wut. Your shoes tell a story ? Da fuq
@@jn5433metaphorically bro
Nike recently announced that they won't raise the retail price of Dunks like they're doing us all a big favor, but they've lost all of my trust and I think there's a high chance they're just going to start using even cheaper leather than before. I would love if you could do a comparison of like a mid-year Dunk release and new releases in the next month or two. I have a feeling the downgrade will be even worse than if they just raised the price $10. This is a really good video and I hope it reaches way more people, thanks for the work you do.
thats what you get for following trends and buying whats popular. Dunks sat on shelves for years until they became hyped. there are literally thousands of other shoes out there.
@@fernandostudebaker5861 ??? I’ve never even owned Dunks before I can still observe that Nike is just a horrible company. I’ve never followed trends I’ve been collecting Blazers for years before anyone else around me cared about them and they’re doing what I said to the SB Blazer Lows already. Just swapping out like 50% of the suede for cheap canvas and still charging the same price. I want them to keep getting called out for this practice no matter what model it is because it’s deceptive especially when they’re communicating directly with the consumers acting like they’re keeping the same price like they’re helping out when really they’re just selling a cheaper shoe to increase their margins.
hey @RoseAnvil little late but i wonder if the synthetic leather looks better when u iron them out to get the creases out maybe they look better and are able to look "newer" for longer then the og ones
Would if be possible to review the AF1 Luxe (couldn't find one)? Should have better leather, in theory at least...
Amazing channel!
The first Nike Air was the Tailwind introduced in 1978. The AF1 was the first basketball shoe to incorporate Air cushioning.
It's sad what Nike is doing. Color of the month, Fresh, Craft, etc... so many slight versions of the triple white AF1 with a premium price tag without actually anything premium about them.
I went in for the white AF1s once but came out with all white Addidas with silver stripes, they were cheaper and have lasted me 5 years under light careful use.
Recently got back into fashion and was just about to get a pair. This was my 6th video for research just to be sure lol. Can’t beat the OGs
MY MAN… THE USED T-SHIRT IN THE STOCKX AD? Haha I had to check my eyes. U a baddie
The gym test wasn’t necessarily a good indicator of wear I’d say, because just in general with even just walking I’ve noticed that for some reason I guess by the way I walk my right foot always creases my shoes more than my left foot. Idk why but I have some friends that it’s like that as well.
Sneakers that cost more than $50 are a scam.
Lol, no.
All sneakers cost more than $50
Great job! Appreciate it!
very informative video!
I wish more people would see this, to see that Nike’s just lying to them.
This is why I will never support Nike as a company, from a moral high ground and as an intelligent consumer with appreciation for true quality.
Decrease quality, increase prices. In fact, THIS shoe seems to be engineered to fail at an increased price and with worse materials. I can only imagine given another weeks use those new shoes would already be splitting. I don't understand why people can't open their eyes to this and speak with the only thing that matters to companies, the wallet.
My Asics Gel pulse I3 runners last me months for running and then they get retired from running and used for general knock around.
@@oscarosullivan4513 I love my Asics. I have never had a bad pair of Asics, granted i have not bought that many. My DynaFlyte 2's have ripped cloth near the ball of the foot, but still amazingly comfortable for street running and walking. Ive owned them for probably four years.
@@chugalingus4642 Glad to hear maybe Nike’s best shoes are their running ones.
Air forces are good and high quality
Stain resistance is often via PFAS, but there are a lot of reports recently saying that these molecules do not break down, and are polluting the environment and human bodies.
Definitely copping a pair of the white fresh 07’s .. I’ll take little unnoticeable lines over the whole shoe shape changing any day 😂 good video bro thanks for putting me on
Thanks so much for proving the bs. Too common these days (or just a return of the snake oil immorality of old?). And marketing people often more highly paid than the engineers. There’s a crime there.
Always doubted the pricing at which Nike has been selling those.... In India, we buy it for like over 9000/-Rs which is over 110$.... For that money we have local options selling similar quality shoes for under 30$ and which really do last long, we wear them for atleast year and half before planning to purchase new.... Spending 110$ and them wearing out under 8 months is illogical, we used to think that well, this is luxury stuff for High Class people living in Posh areas... But even that doesn't seems to be the case..... I have been a Boot guy and Leather enthusiast, so sneakers as whole is something I don't understand, neither do I want to with their trendy appeal against the Class and CHOICE and discipline a Boot & Leather footwear or apparel user exudes in general..... But again, 110$ for something that is prone to early wear out with cheap leather and just a poser shoe for showing off that NIKE Logo a senseless foreign Pop Culture hype train ... It's pure waste off money.....
just stupid rich people stuff i guess, you gotta remember most of the "hypebeasts" are from first world countries, and it shows that it's a dumb rich people thing
You ever think about the comfort? Sneakers are a lot more comfortable than boots.
I wanted to get into the sneakers after moving to Europe but watching these videos and buying some I'm put off. These days I just grab gym shoes for work because they are lot more comfortable than many sneakers.
And bloody hell good looking sneakers here cost more than 150 Euros here.
In the sneaker world it seems like most companies are trying to get money through margins. The cheaper the material, they can keep the markup the same without consumers knowing/caring. Business wise it makes sense, but it sucks for us.
so with regards to durability and breathability, what should we watch out for then with regard to material composition of the upper? what do you all think of the eco versions of leather? the ones made of mushroom? i'm considering either full grain leather or the mushroom kind. genuine leather if full grain leather is not possible for a white sneaker
I solved my creasing problem by just adding more foams inside to make it full whenever i wear it
you're doing us all a great service. people shouldn't settle for subpar products, we gave them our hard earned money.
I've been noticing that things are priced higher these days but the quality is dismal. the Forever 21 clothes I bought from 10 years ago are holding up vs anything thats reasonably priced here. actually, all my clothes I brought from Manila are still way good vs anything I bought in the states within the 50usd-below mark.
I used to buy 2 pairs at a time once every month or two. My main problem with the air force 1s is they’re practically uncleanable! I dont care about creases as much as keeping them white. Soon as you apply cleaner, all the threads/stitching turns color.
Wash them in the washer with a regular load of clothes and then air dry them outside.

2 pairs / month?? Wtf. What do you do with them, use them like brakes for the car? I have and wear the same 2 pairs of af1 the last 3 years. And salomons for running. And I do wear them like 10 hours daily for work.
Yeah, once you have to clean them, you might as well buy a new pair, because it just won't look the same after cleaning them. The leather might be clean, but all the white stitching & lining just looks dingey. Lol
Watch the crappier version become the “Basic” version and the normal AF1 become the “premium” version, exactly like they did with Chucks
I was about to pull the trigger on this pair. Well, not anymore... :) Thanks man!
StockX the place to go to find below retail stuff😂☠️😂☠️
I posted a comment about how bad they were and it was fuckin deleted lmaoo like what the hell
Shoes crease when you wear them. It is what it is.
Exactly
A1 shoe ranking game, god damnit I love this channel. A+
I buy the women's low blazer for the all-white look. They're cheaply made but actually are cheap to buy.
