Air Force 1 women's and unisex

What is the Air Force 1?

The Air Force 1 is a Nike sneaker that started out as a basketball shoe and has now become a lifestyle model worn daily by both women and men. Its thick sole, leather or fabric panels, and high tongue make it easily recognisable, whether you choose it in classic white or in more vibrant colours.

Which version to choose: '07, Mid, LV8 or Flyknit?

The choice largely depends on the level of coverage you want from the upper and the material you prefer.

• The Air Force 1 '07 is the classic low-cut version, made from leather, designed for everyday wear.
• The Air Force 1 LV8 uses the same base with different materials and more refined finishes.
• The Air Force 1 Flyknit replaces part of the leather with a woven upper, which is more flexible and lighter on your feet.
• The Air Force 1 Premium and the Air Force 1 '07 Next Nature offer variations in materials and finishes but maintain the same silhouette.

If you're looking for a high-top pair, know that the collection also includes the Air Force 1 in a Mid version, which provides more ankle coverage while keeping the same base.

What materials and colours can be found on the Air Force 1?

The selection covers several materials, from full leather for a structured look to Flyknit fabric for more flexible use. In terms of colours, white remains the most versatile base, but you will also find versions with coloured panels or patterns, which are more visually striking.

How to wear the Air Force 1 daily

The Air Force 1 pairs well with straight jeans, skirts, or shorts, thanks to its fairly neutral silhouette. In the low version, it is suitable for classic daily use; in the Mid version, it provides extra ankle support, which is useful for longer days or dressier outfits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Air Force 1 and the Air Force 1 Mid?

The main difference is the height of the upper: the low version stops below the ankle, whereas the Mid version provides more coverage. The sole and overall spirit of the model remain the same.

Is the Air Force 1 a sports shoe or a lifestyle sneaker?

Today, the Air Force 1 is primarily worn as an everyday sneaker, outside of any sports activities. Its thick sole and leather upper make it comfortable for walking, but it is not designed for training.

How do I know what size to choose for women’s Air Force 1?

The sizing can vary slightly depending on the material: full leather versions generally fit standard, while the more flexible Flyknit versions may feel a bit looser. If you're uncertain between two sizes, it's recommended to compare with a pair you already own at home.

Can the Air Force 1 be worn with a dress or only with jeans?

The fairly neutral silhouette of the Air Force 1 allows it to be worn with a dress, skirt, shorts, or jeans, depending on the desired look. More subdued colours, like white, easily match most outfits.

Is there a difference in maintenance between leather and Flyknit?

Leather is generally cleaned with a damp cloth and handles repeated friction better. Flyknit, being a woven fabric, requires gentler care since it is more sensitive to stains and abrasion.
