Anyone listen to the latest Complex Podcast? I was going in for the UK raffle tomorrow but the guys noticed the leather on the shoe and really thought it looked poor. After more conversation, I’m worried Nike sorted out the shoe and silhouette but either choose poor leather or poor QC while...

I adore both and have worn the Pink COTM model since they came out but have worn the Linens only twice, never owning the OG pair. Both are exceptional, with the nicest leather I've ever experienced in a AF1. Oddly, the Linens feel the most subdued of the 2, despite having 2 smacks of pink on...

Thanks mate, means a lot coming from you. I know that feeling. Shoe Zone wasn't a cool shop and some kids were snobby about it, but it's the best my Mum could do for us. When I did have £60 saved up, it felt a lot for me to spend on a shoe so never did, till I was 16 and had a part time job. As...

The 16 year old me is screaming with excitement right now! I never had a silver spoon in my mouth as a kid, growing up in a very working class family. So I never owned a pair of Sneakers as a kid, no AF1’s, no Jordans, all my shoes were from the amazingly named UK shop Shoe Zone, where most...

I’m so happy! The AFI Linen re-release is my first ever raffle and after all the chat, I thought there’s no chance I’ll grab them. My teenage self is excited, my 39 year old self is giddy. 😅

N7… Is that Mass Effect? 😅

Totally. I think if there's any kids or younger people reading this, imagine loving Sneakers but not being able to read NT Forums, not having Podcasts, Instagram posts and on top of that, not having online stores where you can just click buy (If you have the cash) and these shoes turn up on your...

Sorry, my bad, I worded my post badly. What I was meant to be getting at was listening to the past few Complex Podcasts, they were criticising new shoes while praising retro release shoes because of new colours. I just felt that the Dn has been the first new Nike shoe I've liked in years so it...

This Sneaker release has been interesting to follow as I’ve got more into Sneakers over these past 4 years. I’ve been into AF1’s, AM1’s and Samba’s all my life and have worn them almost exclusively when I became a late teen and could afford my own shoes. As my interest has expanded since 2020...

Sorry for the rise from the dead post! But just going back through this thread, soaking up all the info and love and needed to say this: You are never too ******* old mate. Wear whatever makes you feel good and bugger anyone else who thinks you're too old to wear colour or heat. Hope you got a...

Thanks for the warm welcome mate! :emoji_grinning:

That's great to hear. It's strange that it's the nostalgic colour ways of the colour of the months that have brought me down this rabbit hole, rather than the famous collaborations over the years. I think the years of being a kid in the 80's and 90's with parents who couldn't buy AF1's for me...

I’ve been on the NT Forums for just a few days & now own 2 new pairs of AF1 CotM’s. 😅

Nice, thank you so much for the explanation @phemom appreciate it! I've loved AF1's my entire life but have only dived deep recently into all the variants and releases, so it's been a spiders web of info to try and pick through. I'm really happy with the CotM releases so far so very happy for...

I've been loving my 2 new colour of the month AF1's; The Pink swosh / gum outsole and Racing Yellow jewel. But after enjoying them, reading a bit about them and watching some reviews, I had a few questions I wondered if anyone knew? It seems that these 2 AF1's have really nice leather. Do all...
