Did AF1’s Ever Go Out Of Style In Your Region?

[tay1]

As a kid, there was three kinds of shoes you had to have:

White AF1’s high top I believe. Cant fully remember.

A pair of Chucks

Those ugly *** Kobe moon boots with Adidas

AF1’s were a staple but they seem to have fell out of style for a long time but now I’m starting to see them a lot more.

Where you reside? I didn’t start seeing Air Maxes out here heavy until last decade

I wouldn’t say out of style, but it stopped being the shoe. Never truly stopped them though, and oddly I’ve always kept a pair. Actually a couple months ago I received I had a mini collection.

Hmm that could be a new topic for later.

In today’s climate, what is THE shoe? Can there even be one? Would have to be like two or three right?

and when you say outta style what you really mean is "still poppin", just not SUPER NELLY AF1 levels.

The shoe that I generally see transcend places like NikeTalk are Jordan 1's or Yeezy 350 V2's. I think Dunk lows are up next b/c more ppl come up to me about them when they see them on my feet.

AF1 is the gateway shoe to the rest of the game

 

[donaldchump]

nah all white ups never completely fell off- uptown and the bx, perfect example... maybe not AS popular and its exposure def decreased somewhat but fall off...nah.

[mplsdunk]

kd iv's, lebron 8-9's, & kobe 6-7's where the wave in the early 10's. That was last great era of being into sneakers socially, imo.

 

[DB Cooper]

People still rock them around my area. Nothing crazy.

Been trying to find an early 2k pair of either low or mid white AF1. Materials were so much better than from a pair you were to buy now.

Yeah V2s prolly would take the spot if they were more available

 

[stuntman mike]

people here mostly wear slippers. if you see someone wearing a pair of forces, they’re usually super beat white on whites on some random dad or hoodlum.

Yeah I think Kanye is trying to make that his AF1.

No doubt. The shoe been out for like three years it seems. ***** need to remodel the V3 because that ain’t it
