I like them!
Can't let teenagers have the pick of the trainers!
I reckon all-white AF1s are the teenage shoe of choice where I live.
If you like them, buy them!

Ahhh, I love those! I love AF1s generally though, they're a classic for a reason - do it :)

Bagelsandbrie · 13/03/2022 00:11

I love them, those particular ones are a lovely colour too.

PandoraP · 13/03/2022 01:46

Love them. I want those too.

Gonnagetgoing · 13/03/2022 14:30

Thank god for that viperettes! Am keeping them! Smile

@twilightcafe no not got all white AF1s.

It’s funny only been in past 5 years I’ve got back into my trainers 👟 lol 😂 lockdown and casual sweatshirts dressing definitely helped!

I have a white pair with a gold swoosh. I love them, so comfy. I'm 53.

I must say, though, that the all black model is the footwear of choice at my DDs' comp: at least 80% of the pupils wear them, boys and girls!

NiLunNiLautre · 13/03/2022 19:44

...as a school shoe, I mean.

Chainey · 13/03/2022 19:47

Classics.

I wore them to death in my early 20s (I’m 45). Teen DD wears them now.

I don’t go for chunky trainers anymore, but I definitely think they’re for all ages!

Peachy7 · 13/03/2022 19:49

I'm 39 and have about 6 pairs of AF1s

WaterJunkie · 13/03/2022 19:52

I love mine too. Soooo comfy and goes with everything.

BulletTrain · 13/03/2022 20:09

Love mine. They're white with blue trim. I'm a 6 so can buy juniors Grin

Sexnotgender · 13/03/2022 20:10

I want to love mine… but they hurt my feet 😞

gunnersgold · 13/03/2022 20:12

I have white Air Force one , not the most comfortable things tbh!

Turningpurple · 13/03/2022 20:14

39 and I love mine. I did see the 'Af1 are for teens' on a thread here quite a while a go. I asked my 17 year old and her friends, they were all baffled and not something they were aware of.

I just got some OT Mexico '66. My dd then asked for her own pair, seems to have ko problem having similar ones to me.

QuizzicalEyebrows · 14/03/2022 09:39

Most teens do wear AF1 but so do many others of all ages just not those with teens.

NiLunNiLautre · 14/03/2022 11:59

Surprised by those saying their AF1's aren't comfortable; mine are the comfiest shoes I've ever owned!

ImAvingOops · 14/03/2022 12:03

I like them. But was sitting in the car yesterday waiting for the traffic lights to change and there was a queue for a concert next to me. At least 3 people were wearing AF1 (white with blue tick) in a 3 metre queue. I noticed because I'd bought my teen dd the exact same ones the week before. Yours are different but but very similar to ones my 21 year old son owns. If you love them and they are comfy and you don't mind that loads of other people have them, then definitely keep. But if you do mind, then it's something to be aware of. I do think they're lovely though.

I used to have a pair of these and absolutely loved them. Unfortunately they’re a little flat and unsupportive for my feet.

FunnyTalks · 14/03/2022 15:55

I'm 41 and I've been wearing them for nearly 20 years! I love them. The ones you linked are ace.

I find them pretty comfy but prefer air max for long walks.

SandrasAnnoyingFriend · 14/03/2022 15:57

I like them but can't wear them, they just feel and look wrong on my feet.
Give me a nice pair of Air Max's any day.
