Which brand is in at the moment, or am I a few seasons behind?

Nike Air force one!
I'm in exact same dilemma. Liked the NB327 but this week have seen so many women wearing them that I'm now put off. Air Force one's perpetually cool!

I like both but find Air Force Ones so much comfier.

I think AF1 are slowly going out now, not that it matters if you like them. Have a look on Asos in the “new in” shoes section, lots of new styles of New Balance and flat retro type Pumas / adidas etc.

I wear NB327 because DD and all her friends and every teen every where having been wearing AF1 for the last 6 years or so

Thanks for the replies - I’m assuming that both NB and AF1 are supportive enough to wear for the gym, and that they’re not just fashion trainers?

I have a few pairs of air force ones, they give the most support
A lot of the trendy trainers are very flat without arch support

They are both pretty ubiquitous. Adidas samba are the in trainer at the mo

dramoy · 06/08/2023 12:06

personally I find the 327s better for gym as higher around the ankle & more arch support

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 06/08/2023 12:18

I like both and am still crying that I returned pastel AF1 and then the green LE AF1’s didn’t fit me!

Vermin · 06/08/2023 12:28

New Balance CT302 are my next pair but definitely not for the gym.

GrimDamnFanjo · 06/08/2023 12:28

I have both ! In men's as I have wide feet and my NB are 574s.
