This should be on trending so Nike gets held accountable

Doesnt suprise me honestly.Make it cheaper and raise the cost too the consumer,seems the American way anymore

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.

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!

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 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.

The audio syncing issue should be resolved soon!

Staying with the OG ones then! Thanks brotha this video was so informative and bad ass!

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.

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.

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 !

I absolutely love these videos. Keep growing and doing what you do!

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.

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!

Man, your channel has GROWNNNNNnnn since I started Subbing. Congratulations 🎉 you deserve it for sure

Thanx for putting these under deep scrutiny! Good info!

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

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!

Nice video, love the leather breakdown and knowledge, most other RU-vidrs 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!

Love you're vids man. Keep up the good work.

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.

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.

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

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

Props for saving so many people from having to waste the money and find out themselves

Great video dude! Thanks for what u are doing!!!

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 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!!!

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 🙏

We need more of this !!! in my subjective experience lately feel like Nike have lower quality than before.

This is why I watch your channel. I would love to see your take on 511 tactical boots some day

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.

Keep exposing them !!! Nike has become hot garbage it's truly sad how downhill they went

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. 🙏👍🏻

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'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?

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

This was awesome. Really hq content, thank you for your hard work.

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. 🙃

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 love the unbiased review you do on shoes. Thank you so much for exposing the BS .

This is awesome. I love channels like you who break down (literally) the value of products!

These types of reviews are helpful . I always shied away from the a.f.1 's and now I see why 😂

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.

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.

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.

The utilitarian in me is so happy I found this channel

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.

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.

Thanks and appreciate your real effort

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I am so glad I found this video, had so many doubts regarding AF1s quality, definitely not going buy them

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

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.

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🔥

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.

MY MAN… THE USED T-SHIRT IN THE STOCKX AD? Haha I had to check my eyes. U a baddie

I would never buy Nike regardless. I appreciate your video content. The product information you share can really save money to us consumers.

Basically another thing to add to list of times Nike sold worse materials for more money

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

those flower things on the boots (intro) are funny af 🤣😂🤣

The first Nike Air was the Tailwind introduced in 1978. The AF1 was the first basketball shoe to incorporate Air cushioning.

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.

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 dunno about that history lesson because me and others were wearing Uptowns (all white AF1's) in the late 80's/thoughout the 90's and 2000's in NYC! One thing we all had were Timbs and a pair of Uptown's. Great video though!!!!

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.

I love my sneakers the more worn out they get, the more character they develop. They start storytelling from nights away and adventures

Great job! Appreciate it!

I was about to pull the trigger on this pair. Well, not anymore... :) Thanks man!

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.

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.

Its okay BRO I also thought Air Force One was planes when I was a kid lol. Love your vids and info

very informative video!

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.

Doing gods work

Love the Space Station shirt, unexpected crossover!

End up here for AF1's and left stoked by the The Used t-shirt

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.

I wish more people would see this, to see that Nike’s just lying to them.

Really great job!

Have them sitting in a box. Unworn. Want to return them now… will try with customer service as return window is passed… thanks for this vid!

Sneakers that cost more than $50 are a scam.

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.....

A1 shoe ranking game, god damnit I love this channel. A+

Would love to see a video on the New Balance 550s too - basically their version of the AF1. NB seems to actually make a better product since they can’t ride off name alone

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.

First time I heard about people not wanting to crease their AF1's was because a colleague at work was walking around the office like he had just shit his pants. I asked him "WHY are you walking like that?" "don't want to crease my shoes" "why?" "in case I sell them" "who's going to buy your sweaty second hand shoes?" "......."

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 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.

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.

StockX the place to go to find below retail stuff😂☠️😂☠️

I would really like to see the Forum 84 lows done on your show, totally dissected. Thanks!
