Here we have a cut above a typical general release Air Force 1. The Nike Air Force 1 Craft is designed with the shape of the original AF1 in mind, with upgraded materials!
I am not lying to you when I tell you that the quality on the AF1 craft line is amazing! It’s one of my preferred types of Air Force 1s to get!
How Are The Materials on the Craft?
The AF1 Craft have a high bar of quality compared to a regular Air Force 1. The leathers and suedes used are generally softer and more premium overall.
The materials are the point of these and they are insane! Overall if you like materials, this is definitely the pair of 1s to get! Everything about these screams premium.
Some have complained about shaky quality control as far as the cuts on the different panels of the shoe being uneven, however this is a risk with many different types of Nikes.
These come in the black AF1 box signifying “nicer than a GR” and ship with flat laces. There is a 3M-like iridescent deubré as well
How Do The Air Force 1 Craft Fit?
The AF1 Craft fit similar to other Air Force 1s. The typical fit is roomy at true to size. Some like to go down a half size for a proper fit.
These are cushy and comfy and only slightly heavy feeling thanks to that big chunky midsole and hidden air unit.
Where To Buy the AF1 Craft
Air Force 1s typically release regularly on Nike’s website. The Craft versions are sold there as well, although less frequently. They are also found on various sneaker boutique and aftermarket websites.

Never was into owning some white on white AF1s although I respect their place in the sneaker world. With that said, these are so nice that it’s like, I don’t understand why you would get regular white/white Air Forces when you could get these, which are 1000% nicer in terms of materials and construction.
