Wore these for a week straight honestly one of the most comfortable Air Force 1’s I’ve put on…the material so thin on the base of the shoe that there is no break in period.. after the spikes wear down There is a ton of grip!! I’m a bigger guy and these where pretty comfy no lie! Spikes acted almost like springs! Also wear black sox it brings out the pattern in the toe more. I don’t think this a troll shoe this is really just and expression of art by an artist. RIP Virgil🕊….they sometimes don’t realise greatness till later.
I got the black pair and i absolutely love them. Very comfortable, absolutely insane and different. They give me kind of a futuristic metal type vibe with the spikes. Thought when i wore them i would get made fun of but i got a lot of compliments.
I actually like the spikes, I have noticed a lot of Japanese designers such as Yohji Yamamoto of Y-3 utilizing them as well. I know most Jordan heads prefer the more boring look but idk this kinda gives it a nice breath of fresh air in my opinion.
Agree with you, tied of the same old shit in different colors, this is just fresh idc if they are ugly they are something different. I have caught people breaking their neck to peep
@@Bonbon45629 the spikes will wear off, a friend of mine got them and just after a month they wore off and believe me they look very different, damn I think they were designed with that in mind. People reviewing them haven't even wear them at all, after a month of wearing them every day the color patches and the spikes looked very different a d the shoe in overall looked damn hot!!! I'll say after people start noticing this they will hype on those sneakers and the price will go up in a crazy way
I absolutely love these sneakers. Copped a pair relatively recently, and they're super comfortable. The exposed air unit is something I'm a big fan of. Replaced one set of the grey laces with purple rope laces just to give a bit more because I thought it could compliment the pinks and blues. The only issue I have with these sneakers is that as someone who drives a manual transmission car, driving is kinda weird but I think I'll get used to it.
I got the black pair on release and I liked them a lot better once I got them in hand. They aren’t an everyday pair, but definitely a pair that catches people’s eyes and gets a conversation started!
I got these below retail on eBay and they are awesome to wear and not like most off whites which sit in a box on a shelf going up in value. a crazy art sneaker which is wearable and useable
I love these sneakers so much. I hit the white pair on SNKRS, ended up having to have the black pair as well. I love how weird and off the wall they are, and though people think they don't really fit it with Virgils other work, I think they fit in great. I think using a silhouette that no one likes was on purpose, and so was using the spikes. Every shoe OW did for Nike that had spikes on them, flopped, and people think Virgil didn't notice it? 🤔 the overlace, the rip-stop material, the floating swoosh, and of course, the spikes, are all call-backs, and perhaps the graffiti on the tongue is a call-forward to the LV Nike Mids. IDK man, a lot to like for me. my only complaint is that the overlace doesn't go over the toebox, but that's it, I love the artistic statement of these sneakers! respect.
I hit on the black pair on SNKRS and I absolutely love them. Like someone else said in the comments, I think this shoe separates Virgil's real fans from the hypebeasts.
Well everything your saying is your opinion, im personally an Air Force one lover and these are unique as ever , only reseller are mad at these shoes , I love em 😎 and glad nobody like em 😂
I waited a year to finally track these down. They are amazingly comfortable like hummers on your feet. Also they make a great fashion statement. I’m only in my 3rd day. I’ll be purchasing the white colour way for sure. I have the black so far.
I actually like them. They definitely grew on me. I got the white pair for retail from SNKRS. I think In a few years people will appreciate them and they’ll be expensive. I’m grabbing the black pair too while they’re affordable.
Hello great review, i got both the black and the white pair and I unDs the black mid’s. I wore them for about 8 hour’s and the spikes never bother me and also the mid’s feel good on feet. P.S. love them. Have a good ☝️
Hit for the white and was considering bringing them back.. glad I didn’t I realized for me these look better with cargo pants or some clean chinos, they are summer colors but the look is more fall
Some rapper will wear them and they’ll gain hella hype. Plus it’s one of the last designs Virgil did, now Off-White is just corporate bs. The designs will be scrapped like a posthumous rappers record label, then the whole brand will change.
I’m thinking of getting a pair to golf in. Regular golf shoes seem to grip too much for me and my swing. These look like they may be perfect for it. Plus, I’m a part of a rare percentage that loves the way they look, even more than original Air Force ones.
If you put your hand in front of the colorful outsole it's a decent shoe. My tip: remove the spikes from the sole with a dremel and use some rubber paint to make the sole acceptable.
I love these! And I can’t wait to get a white pair of these. Sure there not for everyone but that’s what makes them special. I believe in a few years these are going to have a great value. Because of the history of the designer.
Man this shoe is befor its time i couldnt possibly understand y anyone wouldnt think these are the coldest shoe ever made i love these shoes so much im a trucker so i havent seen them yet but there at the house both pair the hood gon love me when i put these bad boys on then double back in the blk ones
Honestly I don't really think u know Virgil if u said this shoes is a messed n don't represent him, he used to put spikes on sneakers, from stockx I see people buying this everyday
I copped on stockx and honestly love them more then my volt lows. I like being different so selling a few pairs of jays and doubling up on both color ways. Plus this is one time the af1 mid hot love. Have my sheed highs and lows with a few other different lows and cool to have a dope different mid.
@@dahlenjames7223 they fit same as all other af1. I went tts and happy sometimes I can go down to a 12 or 12.5 in af1. These are perfect in a 13 and have been a go to shoe lately
So the weird aspects were the negatives. The black pair is much easier to turn “normal” You can take scissors to all the spikes, you’re left with a waffle pattern and you take the white over lace (on the black pair) out and it’s so much more “normal”. Definitely more wearable!
These shoes are dope! I may never wear mine but they are a work of art.. However, I did remove the over laces and put the lace lock on the middle of the shoes in the laces.. switched the hangtag around as well.
It's crazy , I bought the black pair , I posted it on my IG , people really like them 😳 I love my pair but I like shoes that make people second glance and open covo! But every day I get a comment or a dm about them 😁 cult classic lol
Hey Hes, will you do a review on Forum 84 Low Carolina Blue in the future? It looks so clean but it seems not a lot knows about it. As always love your reviews Hes! 🙌🏻🔥
I definitely didn't want the white pair due to the see through top. But the black pair is OK. Black and pink also simply looks better than white and pink.
last shoe Vergil designed and the story behind this concept is that it was the last BRICK in the Nike line that made Nike who they are look it up the story is out of this world SIP Vergil
This shoe separates Virgil’s real fans from the hype beast that just were there for a fad . This is literally the representation of all of Virgil’s work .
I was excited to finally get a pair of off whites, when I received them I returned them the same day. Too bulky, not comfortable and looked to crazy for a grown ass man. Maybe some kids can make em work....not for me.
I feel Off-White is just trolling people with this shoe just to see if anyone would buy em. The spikes are there to intentionally devalue them for anyone who wears these shoes.
can someone tell me why they are so cheep compaid to any other off white shoe being hundreds or thousands of dollars like ima get em rn for 180 4 dollars below retale seems like a seal low key like em too
Always appreciate any Hes review. Personally, for me, this is a pass and I find these unwearable. I’m sure lots of folks will chase these, but it’s not for me. I hope there are some more OW pieces in the vault that better serve Virgil’s incredible legacy.
I don't think this shoe was slated for release until Virgil passed... the box says it all AF1 mids are "bricks" they took ideas from the team and re-marketed the AF1 Mid like the AJ2.
Go RUclips it bro the brick box was for he said it was a pillar that started nike like the first brick to start things off. Do your research respectively

How about the sizing bro you go tts? Or half size down
@@dahlenjames7223 can go tts or half size down comfy either way
Yea those spike things make you feel like you walking on air or something
How did you like sizing on them? Did you go with regular Air Force sizing?
I think once economy is back up these will be worth a lot. This is one of the last projects Virgil actually teased. But only time will tell
I agree with you bro. These were one of his last designs. Have you seen the Pine Green’s that about to drop 👀

I was dissing these at first, but im rolling wit em now. Got the black jawns on thee way. Haven't had a pair of uptowns in years.
I changed the white shoes laces with pink ones. Try it. They look even better.
Well everything your saying is your opinion, im personally an Air Force one lover and these are unique as ever , only reseller are mad at these shoes , I love em 😎 and glad nobody like em 😂
The only thing I don’t like about it is the front multiple color spikes like if they removed them the shoe would be worth buying
Sole swap. Or cut with sharp cutter.
The spikes come off if you wear a couple times
You can cut them down with scissors, it’s just rubber
@@adrianfigueroa8823 you tried it?
Yeah but like also the colors of the spikes and those parts just throw it off too
honestly they will go up when people realize they are an AF1 x Off collaboration and last Virgil design
Love how wild these are. Everything about it is imperfectly perfect.

These are definitely going up in time. Not anytime soon but 4-7 years it is going to triple in price. Too futuristic for todays fashion...

I wear mine and gonna buy another pair. They are so strange and wierd its just feels nice to walk in them
If it’s not risking disaster
It’s not art
i actually really like these. im afraid to buy them because those spikes at the bottom seem like they will be really uncomfortable and weird to wear
They feel spongy or springy when you walk. It feels pretty decent actually if you’re still considering coppin

Copped both pairs, expected better resale, but honestly night ice one and see if they go up and run the others into the ground
I definitely didn't want the white pair due to the see through top. But the black pair is OK.
Black and pink also simply looks better than white and pink.
I like the shoe and the story behind the shoe as this was the last pair Virgil designed
If they said Prada or Gucci ppl would be all over them
Anything on grassy or rock/dirt (track sport to golf) the spikes might be welcome
The black and white version look so different even though they're just the same elements with different colors
If there was a way to soleswap this while keeping the window and the wiggly details of the midsole, these would be 🔥
what were they thinking when they put this shoe together?
i love your shirt!
I love these! both because of Virgil and because they are creative. Not a fan of the black colorway though.
last shoe Vergil designed and the story behind this concept is that it was the last BRICK in the Nike line that made Nike who they are look it up the story is out of this world SIP Vergil
It reminds me of the old tvs from the 70s and 80s that when u changed the channel they kinda flickers in and out.
Every time i see these I begin to like them the more I see them I might have to pull the trigger on the black pair
This shoe separates Virgil’s real fans from the hype beast that just were there for a fad . This is literally the representation of all of Virgil’s work .
Lol no. Just cause i like a designer doesnt mean i have to like everything they do
Facts
I was excited to finally get a pair of off whites, when I received them I returned them the same day. Too bulky, not comfortable and looked to crazy for a grown ass man. Maybe some kids can make em work....not for me.
Do they fit true to size or should a buyer go down or up?
Would love to see these customized to have the spike color blend in with the rest of the shoe or removed
somebody should take those spikes off and see if it works! I do see potential in it.. 👍
Virgil is a LEGEND but these don't look good on feet or on Hand, just my opinion
Do I go true to size?
I love em I just don’t know what to wear I don’t want to wear white tee
I like em'! Thanks for a great video.
Reminds me of the Exposed air units on the past fusion af1s and the 20th anniversary joints
May I ask how thicc the material of the shoe is ? Is it good for fall and winter ?
No the front is pretty thin, you can see your socks through it
Guys, its a Golf shoe, it ought to have those spikes!
These would have been dope without the spikes. Love everything else about the shoe
Reminds me of back to future joints
The two coloured Elements on the Sole kill the shoe. Without them a buy…
I feel Off-White is just trolling people with this shoe just to see if anyone would buy em. The spikes are there to intentionally devalue them for anyone who wears these shoes.
I bought the two and they go hard son.
Definitely like these .. because they are Different is about Being Different while everyone else wearing the Same Crap.
Spikes and the mix spike colors has to go. It would have been a great looking shoe without them.
I think they could have done without trying to make them look like football cleats with the spikes.
Yo does this give mad height boost
its funny u said disney land i was gonna buy them for that purpose i guess not
what do u reccommend
can someone tell me why they are so cheep compaid to any other off white shoe being hundreds or thousands of dollars like ima get em rn for 180 4 dollars below retale seems like a seal low key like em too
As art I lovvvvvvve them
Everything about em
But to walk uphill on Koosh all the time? Nope
Can anyone help me on sizing? I used to fit 9.5/10 US, but on this one I'm thinking to buy an 11 US, cause i've some really fat feet
10.5 🙌🏼
People keep wondering why the box has a brick wall because the shoe itself is a brick, Virgil had a wicked sense of Humor
Will look great on young kids. This look kinda ends by junior high.. for damn near $1000.
....I really might be too old for these crazy ones. Cyberpunk 2077 sneaker...🤣🤪
I returned mine.
can u remove the spiky stuff off the sole?
