U know whats funny is ive been looking for an all white pair of nikes or j's and im havin trouble finding some lol. I would get some air 1s but im through with those cuz u wear em for a day (even if u wear em indoors) and they look beat up, and even if u are hella careful and somehow manage not to crease them, the shape of the toe still gets fucked up n worped. Haha if u have owned a pair of forces then u know what im talkin about, when the sun hits your shoes at that bad angle and its like "damn i need to re-evaluate the sporting of these kicks". Also had a pair of all white air max 90s that got beat up too fast

Idk though i was thinkin about coppin some adidas or somethin cheaper just cuz if i cop a dope ass pair of icy hot ass white j's then i know im just gonna want to not wear em, and what i really need is some white kicks to actually wear... But fuck adidas are just so whack lol... Im not anti-adidas i actually want some i just dont like any of them when i look at champs or wherever, (well actually most everything at the mall is whack)...

Whats a good white shoe to cop, preferably something i can wear without them getting all creased up? And i cant really do the k-swiss cuz it reminds me of middle school, and dont usally fuck with pumas. Or converse.

Not feeling the obsidians to me the the straight seam and the eyelets or whatever... shoelace holes throws them off n makes em look almost like vandals... And the hong kongs i cant get over that check. I personally dont like when they change parts on the af1 cuz its such a specific design that even a little change throws them off

The mushrooms i like tho... Im not no expert on air forces, but on those white 01 forces seems like they used to use a better leather around the toe its that tougher not completely smooth leather. The new ones use that thin flat smooth leather... Nike changed that? And if so why lol

the canvas material (obsidians) is actually my favorite type of air forces. they do look just like vandals.. just not as slim as vandals. i got a few different colors in that material.

i actually didnt like the hong kongs either when i first started buying these older air forces. but after time they grew on me and green being my favorite color, i finally gave in and picked them up. really nice shoe in person.

air forces have used that smooth leather in the past, you can see the mushrooms are smooth leather. and then others used tumbled/textured leather. but the difference in the leather back then and now is like night and day. i dont even think its real anymore.. prolly some synthetic bullshit.

quality started to decline in 2002
