Nike Air Force 1 '07 Craft

These are the best pair of AF1’s I've ever purchased and i’ve been collecting shoes since 1987. The extra $30 are well worth it. Beautiful soft buttery leather, even the cushion is way better compared to regular pair. Go true to size on these. More cushion & better leather so they don’t run big like the regular AF1’s.

After copping the all white pair with the grey suede heel tab for $120, I was expecting high things from a seemingly ordinary looking pair of white on white AF1s. Needless to say, this pair did not disappoint, but there are still a few quirks that I would like resolved. Firstly, this pair is probably one of the best quality AF1s I’ve had in hand. The leather is very soft, tumbled, and “wrinkly”, and creases far better than the “pleather” found on the $90 pairs. I was also impressed by the upgraded insole which to me feels a bit more plush, as well as the liner used in the heel area which is softer and more smooth. The iridescent silver dubrae is a nice touch as well. The laces also seem more premium given their rubberized metal tips and almost stretchy nylon material. I could’ve done without the rough grey suede, but it’s nice quality and doesn’t take away from the shoe. Now as to what I didn’t like is that my right shoe has excess fabric in the inside heel area which has bunched up; it’s not uncomfortable but just an aesthetic thing and expected better in terms of QC. In addition, the sneaker itself is still chunky and the toe box is just as boxy as the $90 pair. I guess I thought that since this was the “Craft” version, it would have a more streamlined and aerodynamic re-crafted toe box similar to the OG pairs. I also noticed that the tongue is made of a nylon material which isn’t bad, but I would appreciate it if it was a bit softer and the branding was more prominent. One thing to note is that the Craft pair seems to run TTS. I compared them to my other 9.5 AF1s and the 9.5 in the Craft version feels much more snug and there is an ever so slight difference in the length as well. So no need to go a half size down in my opinion! Overall, I am pretty impressed by these shoes. I think many people don’t value quality and can’t seem to justify the $30 increase for the Craft version hence almost all color ways of the shoes not being sold out and even going under retail. I think Nike should charge $115 for the Crafts to attract more people. Now I am patiently waiting for a triple black Craft AF1 with and iridescent silver dubrae and silver lace tips! Please make that happen Nike!

Crisp leather, great fit if you nail the sizing(half size down) and awesome shape. One of nikes best sneakers recently if u ask me. Highly satisfied with this sneaker
