Growing up for me, it was any all black basic shoe gave you some type of superpower. This one kid used to wear black reebok And he was the fastest kid in the school ( I know it's not the shoe). I only met one kid who wore black AF1, we called em Hammer and when he played Football no one wanted to play. Lol

[@TyxensLeft]

I have black Air Force 1s but I don’t do dangerous stuff like I mostly wear them just for the looks not to look like a criminal I’d rather be a chill person than a criminal

[@phoenixdaronco9540]

Yeah, that meme is just a Black stereotype. Just because the shoes are worn by some criminals doesn't make everyone who wears them a criminal. I have similar shoes, except they're Jordan Low 1s, all black and white on the outside of the outsoles.

[@That_one_introvert.]

Don’t let internet memes dictate what you wear.

Remember having a pair in high school to go with my uniform, cause we had a dress code and everyone had a pair and they seemed much more comfortable than dress shoes.

Love the AF1, hate the lace charm. The first thing I always do is ditch that thing. And it's funny how the black AF1s look just a little less bad-ass with those little trinkets looking so precious on them.

[@jerichosamurai]

The cheesy reputation has always been a factor in me never owning a pair. Why tf would I want a shoe that immediately starts getting me labeled? I wear Nashoba Timbs with a composite toe. They are way too good at curb stomping, but the difference is nobody looks at me differently for wearing them.

[@nunomcb140799]

Back in school we were required to wear all-black shoes as part of the school uniform so I can’t relate

[@2WILLSDOWN]

It’s associated w low income households… parents can’t afford a lot of shoes so they get one pair and has to last a long time. Easy to clean so easy to keep a while. Low income means less structure in the house, prob a single parent. The kid ends up being bad… so black forces are a way to fit in with an iconic shoe.

[@jea3don3366]

Black colored sneakers like non slip restaurant shoes and are used for regular use but the same sneaker in white looks better with dressier clothes and to be treated like a porcelain doll. Literally night and day. It's crazy

[@Doopdop]

Really what I think it comes from is the fact that because it’s all black, people are not afraid to crease them or get them dirty. Like those kids at school for example, even if they had just gotten those new shoes, they would just not care about doin whatever unlike people who wore white air forces who try to keep em clean and uncreased. Also I ain’t never seen a burglar wear all white have you? 😂

[@SuperAxon2]

Maybe the real black air force ones were the friends we made

[@Milosan1986]

[@CP2793]

Black ups are beyond fresh but all the black force energy is some suburban shit

[@phoenixdaronco9540]

I think people should be able to wear what they're comfortable with without being pigeonholed into an urban stereotype. For me personally, I love post-punk music like Joy Division, and there's a lot of dark colors in that genre, so I just call Black Air Force 1s the "post-punk shoes."

[@mercyou3390]

There is a reason, when the Air Force 1s first came out (i forget what year I’m high rn) all the west coast gangsters used to rock those and some Gucci shoes wile slinging dope
