Nike Air Force 1 '07
Good with caveats

Yes — if you'll break them in.

  • Roomy fit for wider feet
  • Well cushioned once broken in
  • Goes with almost anything
  • Heavy and stiff — needs breaking in

Get it if…

  • You want the classic all-white look.
  • You have wider feet.
  • You'll put up with a break-in period.

Skip it if…

  • You want comfort from day one — get the Gel-1130.
  • Creases on the toe will bother you.

Things to know before you buy

  • 60% stiffer than average; the break-in can be painful (RunRepeat).
  • Leather creases at the toe quickly.
  • Runs true to size (RunRepeat, 1,900+ owner votes).

RunRepeat scored it 88/100: roomy (70.4 mm at the big toe), well cushioned (99 shock absorption) and stable. It loses points for weight (465 g) and a very stiff sole that makes long wear uncomfortable at first.

Reebok Club C 85

Lighter, bendier white leather for less. Narrower, with less cushioning.
