Great review! Just subscribed 👍 Unfortunately in Australia we don't get these cool options. I ordered a pair of Nike Manoa recently and they're some of the most comfortable boots I've ever had. Picked them up on sale for $80 (AUD) which was an absolute bargain! Just ordered some Nike Rhyodomo from the U.S. and hoping they are just as great.

[@darekshed]

Hey Steve! Great review. What do you consider is the difference with the lunar af1? Which one would you get better?

[@StevenJabbori]

Main difference is the lunar sole being foam based and this one is traditional air pockets. Also, I don’t think the lunar af1 has Gore-Tex on the upper.

[@darekshed]

Hey Steve thanks for this review. I just got the "Nike Air Force 1 Men's Boots" lighter color and no Gor-Tex logo. What's different about it?

[@mikezobbi]

p.s. I'm just getting into sneakers. The first time ever I spend $160 on shoes(usually $50-$70). I just loved the way they looked and needed winter boots anyway

[@StevenJabbori]

Essentially the gore-Tex is going to be a little more insulated and more water proof than the standard Air Force 1 boots. Regardless, you got yourself a great pair! Also, welcome to the sneaker head family 🤝

[@mikezobbi]

@@StevenJabbori Thanks man I appreciate the reply

[@doricdave]

Just got the Black ones and love em! I wouldn't go ½ size up though as AF1 are on large side, I have a 8.5 and am usually a 9 and they are perfect with room for chunky socks. Is the GTX on the leather or inside as a liner?? Just want to know how to clean them!

[@StevenJabbori]

It’s my understanding that the Gore-Tex is a liner. For my pair I plan on caring for them the same way I would any leather boot.

@@slugnation1699 You are straight, just make sure you losen them up enough if you wear thick socks, they are a little difficult to get on, I removed the strap because I really didn't see a need for it. They are awesome boots with the classic Air Force 1 appearance.

[@gianni_drm]

Great video , Steve, would love an update to see how they've held up!

[@StevenJabbori]

They’ve done quite well! I don’t use them every day in the winter, so they still look really good and the leather still looks rich and smooth 👌🏽

[@Lol_A_Frog]

Great review. Only thing you didnt mention was their comfort and if they have more cushioning than normal air force 1s. Are they more comfortable than normal AF1s?

[@StevenJabbori]

I found cushioning to feel more or less the same than a typical air force one. Because they are heavier and so high cut they feel a little more restrictive. Not a bad thing necessarily but it definitely feels closer to a pair of timberland boots than it does Air Force ones

[@Lol_A_Frog]

@@StevenJabbori Thanks for this comment. I absolutely hate timberland boots so glad you commented before I copped a pair and regretted it. Timberland boots have zero flexibility so I feel like donald duck trying to walk. They also have next to no padding on the inside.

[@StevenJabbori]

I feel like I should clarify that the upper feels more like a timberland boot than the sole. The midsole still has Nike cushioning in it. I love the black pair of timbs I have and I know not all timbs are created equal so if I were you I would try a nicer pair of timbs before writing them off completely. Also look into red wing boots. 👌🏽

[@MadelnMachines]

Is it a lot heavier than a jordan 1? Is it a lot more comfortable / cushioned? I didn't find AJ1's all that comfortable to be honest but AF1 seemed alright.

[@StevenJabbori]

It is much heavier than an Jordan 1. Almost as heavy as a pair of timberlands. It’s way more comfortable than Jordan 1s as well 👌🏽

[@MadelnMachines]

I tried on the Wheat Mids yesterday and they were really good in an 8.5. The Black/Gum Luxe Lows felt a bit tighter on width due to a bunion on one foot. How much do these shoes break in on width? Is it good to buy them a little tight? On the 9 size I could fit 2 fingers down the back of my heel so I thought they were a bit big. They felt comfortable width wise out of the box but I wouldn't want them getting any bigger. I think the 9s feel ok snug only if I lace them tight? What the sizing on these compared to other AF1s? I feel the 8.5 could be perfect is they give a little and the 9s would be too big if they give a little. Also the Luxe felt pretty heavy on foot compared to the wheat mids. I'm guessing the high GTX feel way heavier than the Luxe?

[@StevenJabbori]

@@MadelnMachines For me, I plan on wearing wool socks with mine so a little bit of room is ok. I don't see them getting wider when broken in. Because I'm also wearing these for warmth and durability and not performance, I like the more comfort instead of a snug fit.

[@shortsleevesamson1607]

Did you get to test them out and see how the upper holds up? I love af1’s and I’d like to get these to have as a daily boot I have a pair of boots for heavier work but I often wind up ruining my nicer shoes anyway so I need something semi durable and I know regular af1s always held up pretty good for me as a sneaker

[@StevenJabbori]

I didn’t wear them as much as I usually might because of quarantine but they appear to be up to the task of lasting multiple winters as long as you’re not purposefully trying to beat them into the ground.

[@acidox8769]

Should I buy a size smaller or my usual size?

Same size as I get in regular AF1s worked for me. I think the weight and bulky look makes them feel bigger than they really are

[@wootexclusive8499]

I deff wanna know if their durable in nasty weather. If not... I'll rock with Tim's or a basic AF1

Do they go big in size? I wear size 11 in Nike and should I cop a 11.5?

[@StevenJabbori]

I would say these are a little snug due to the construction, but the leather will break in a little after use. That being said if you want to pair them with some wool socks you’ll need some more wiggle room. I typically just wear tall Nike socks so true to size works for me and should work for you if you do the same.

[@Bluegallardo619]

So I live on upstate New York, could they be too warm? Like unwearable in the summer or warmer weather?

For me personally I have always gone TTS for AF1s and that’s probably due to my wider feet. With this particular AF the build makes this a little more snug and since you’ll likely wear a thicker sock with this I think I would stick with TTS.
