$90 Nike Air Force 1 '07 vs. $120 Air Force 1 Craft Comparison (Nike was WRONG)

- Nike store associates told me these two shoes would feel the same on foot. They couldn't be more wrong.
In our WhichWon series, we review & compare value and premium products to determine a winner. And in this video, we are comparing two Nike shoes: the classic Nike Air Force 1 '07's and the more premium Air Force 1 '07 Craft.
We review each shoe, compare them to one another, and decide if the Craft really has enough umph to convince the shop-savvy Slickdeals staff to make a recommendation. Oh, and a special nod to the Verge for the video inspiration! Double Air Force 1's, and double trouble with Slickdealer Pete!

Bought the AF1 Craft around a year ago...I'm telling you, that extra $30 is worth it. I've been wearing them daily for a year and the leather is still buttery smooth.
how have they been to keep clean
Bro it’s all the same shit 🤡😐
@@traviswebster8302 lowkey i beat them up so bad so i cant say fosho. but if u wear them w/ care itll be fine
@@ethanlee5297 don’t think anyone cares
@@djskate8584 the guy that asked cares also I care so what are you in abt?
No comparison. The craft Af1 wins hands down in comfort.
Hard agree - Pete
Comfort wise yes. Look wise not really.
@@ScoobyDooFr yep, and they are less durable
@@igorkarcz2174 my wife wore her af1 and in less than a few weeks, they look like they are falling apart. They aren't that durable either
@@kingjon5818 That's not saying much of anything because we don't know how well your wife takes care of her shoes
The Af1 craft is unreal. They are not the same as a standard Af1 at all! The comfort and durability these provide is supreme !!!
AF1 has always been popular. Just not when I grew up back in the 90’s and early to mid 2000’s. Those and the Superstars/Stan Smith from Adidas are classics. But 2020/2021 AJ1 and dunks are all the rage. It has a lot to do with getting your proper size, but yes the AF1 often needs to be broken in. People complain about the cheap plasticky feel of the upper, but as you mentioned, easier to clean, and more durable. You wouldn’t buy these for comfort anyway. But depends on your preference. I don’t like super cushioned comfortable shoes. Hurt my feet. I prefer a harder sole. Even the dunks that doesn’t have the Air technology is more comfortable to me than the AF1’s.
They were popular in late 90s and early 2000s
Idk about the west, but in the east coast they were def popular during the times you mentioned.
Funny IsH. I had Retro 1’s in 2002 NoBODY was up on that game. I always had white AF1, and then Nelly made that D@mn Song. Now I’m Parent, and my daughter stopped asking for vans and started asking for AF1. I knew they would be Mainstream again.
Cap man, I been in the sneaker game since the mid 90s. We wore Highs and Mids (I STILL DO) and Dunks where the kicks you bought if you wanted cheaper shoes. Yes Dunks where cheaper than Air Force 1 at one point and they still hurt more than the AF1 and the J1 I still rock all the highs and mids till this day and never stopped ever. I got air forces older than how long this guy been wearing fly nets and shi
@@idjc2621 bro I was like you, stomping hard in my mid top 1s before Nelly made that DAMN song and made the price go from 60 (mids) to 70 (mids). The Lows was 55 then went up to 60. Before you know it was 80 for some mids now 95 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ and they don’t even make enough colors ways in mids no more. I got enough all white (mids) to not even wear most of them. Even some “off” white brand new ones I forgot to wear first. Got throwed off in rotation. 🤦🏿♂️ my rule now is I only buy colored mid top air forces. Which rarely comes out because about a million low tops come out a year. One mid top or 3 max comes out a year. Saves me money plus I have a lot of ones to wear. I’m anti low top these days though.
I’m actually impressed how you made this video with you interacting with your own self. Great content. Great comparison. I will subscribe.
Thanks! We have a couple of double-Pete videos :) If you like Ultraboosts.... czcams.com/video/DpyayHWoZ54/video.html
We might have another coming soon with the Nike Go Flyease.
I bought the Black Craft version 1 year ago just because I wanted a black pair of low sneakers with white sole, and they are one of my favourite shoes I ever bought, comfortable and easy to wear as very few I had
The effort you've put in to EDIT this video is commendable. Like really its Real Professional Work.
Got a bit surprised by the engagement of your video but I think its a new channel and maybe that's why, but anyways just wanted to let you know KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.!!! 👏👍💯
And since you wanted to know @0:10 ▶ NIKE AIR FORCE 1's are the BEST Sneakers.!!! 🤙🤙🤙
Thanks :) Our channel is small right now but I'm still putting a ton into the edits with late nights - Austin (editor/videographer)
Honestly it’s uncanny valley
The quality of this video is actually amazing
ive been looking for this comment all day long
he said PETA don’t @ me 😂 really impressive editing, must’ve taken quite a few hours of editing and outtakes
lmao I like how you were concerned that someone might accidentally buy dunk lows over AF1's or something. like I promise you that if someone manages to do that people will be more interested in the shoes lmfao
yeah lmao, thats what i was thinking
WELL, THANK YOU. I JUST ORDERED MY AF1 CRAFT PAIR. HOPE TO FEEL THEM COMFY.
Love your video.
Very helpful !!! ❤🙏
Same I’ve had these for probably almost two years and they’re great definitely worth the extra 30. Material is still nice only thing is my jeans made the suede a bluish but if you just buy some suede cleaner you should be fine. If you take care of them they will last and keep the nice leather look and even if you don’t they should still last you a good amount of time. I wear them every day.
One part of the Air Force ones becoming so popular is that they were always popular in nyc and now there hard to find
I subscribed as soon as the 2nd guy slid in. 🤣
A fully grown man stressing over an off white tab on his shoes
I'm not American, it's so weird seeing people obsess so much over..... Shoes? 👟
I accidentally bought the craft Air Force ones while trying to get normal ones and am so happy I did I love them
Editing skills... Shesshh💯
Thanks :)
“If you want to look cool in the eyes of sneaker elite buy AF1 instead of dunk lows”? Just no
Dunks suck and gas always sucked those are skate board shoes
I like Dunks but they arent better than AF1's imo ill always cop a pair of forces before i will a pair of Dunks
I’m a sneaker elite. At one point AF1s costed more and was way cooler than dunks. Dunks where substitute AF1 and truthfully Low top dunks aren’t cool just the highs.
Wanna show me your a rookie and a hype beast, wear some low 1s any 1s. Jordan, Dunks or Air Forces.
@@tonysparks9453 tf is a sneaker elite lmao, you sound like the what every other hype beast sounds like, yikes.

This was very entertaining to watch 😂🙌🏾💯👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks :) - Austin (editor/videographer)
If that grey heel bothered you, should have went with the Quadruple White colorway. They're noice.
En México los AF1 son muy populares tal como lo mencionan en los ángeles, aquí es igual de difícil de conseguir y aún en Julio 2021 puedes encontrar todas las tallas del Craft, si quieres AF1 blancos con detalles diferentes y superiores, estos son la opción.
What he said is that in Mexico the AF1 is really popular
@@lesliedelgado3963 yes, so much
Dope review twins! haha
Hope you enjoyed the editing :) We did another one of these with an adidas review and have one or two more coming up in the near future on hiking boots and potentially Balenciaga's.
So glad I grabbed the crafts last year. They flew under the radar so hard. Slept on asf
Better than og u reckon?

Couldn't get my size it sold asap I remember
I agree with these guys, like how it is hard to find the original Air Force 1s, it took me forever to get my hands on it.
It’s one person
I basically HAD to go to the Nike website for the AF1 because I'm a size 14 and most shoe stores/websites I go to rarely have 14's
I'm forever in love with that crunchy hardbody 07🤟🏽
What’s the difference between the original Air Force 1 and the 07???
I have 07 version of air forces
But just bought Air Force ones online just now. But I don’t know the difference between them???
This video is so hard bro😂😂🔥🔥🔥
I’m getting the 1’07s but they were expensive like 150$or something they r still shipping though
Is this like comparing Air Force 1 '07 black/white (with tumbled leather) and Air Force 1 '07 AN20 black/white? If so, Air Force 1 '07 black/white wins here?
I can just look at the Craft and know it's better. I just want some John Elliots thooo!
Holy heck do those John Elliott AF1s look nice! Wow. - Pete
For STYLE, does anyone feel that the tumbled leather looks cooler and superior?
Yep
Nah hate the look
I like tumbled leather, but I like the shape of the normal af1s more, the tumbled leather on the crafts give them a more rounded look
The leather on the Craft is softer, but in terms of looks, yeah that's up to you since you can barely see any difference between 2 triple white AF1s unless you're going up close on details
Yowwww😂 you funny af yow, interesting, informative 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I enjoying this. And I’m at work. #dopework
All my east coast people know the vibes, we dont do no colors or new upgraded fazos. What we see is only straight white plain classics and if you wearing black god bless yah soul.
i got black 😈
Does that mean black ones are cool or not cool?
@@pamela0924 The black ones are associated with criminal activity or degeneracy because of jokes that go like "Stay away from that guy, he has Black Air Forces" or etc. Coming from someone with Black Forces, they're still cool just have some stereotypes/jokes related to them
Boy shut up, what part of the east coast. I most definitely do different color ways and I only rock MIDS and I’m from BROOKLYN BUSHWICK TO BE EXACT WHAT UP
@@pamela0924 you asking the wrong person. I’ll stomp on his all whites with my black tumbled leather with the white check and not going to do nothing. He know wassup. OG status 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿. If you do catch me in all white best believe they mids.
I just ordered a pair on the Nike website got lucky they were almost sold out. The leather looks so buttery
Can you tell me their website plss ?
the 120$ dollar forces last longer, i got some black utility forces they been up for three years
What’s the difference between the original Air Force 1 and the 07???
Air Force ones are the best option. (Between the adidas and the forces)
I've been trying to buy the Air Force 1 Craft for a while now but they're always sold out in the all white colorway, even on Nike. I have no interest in the OG Air Force 1 as I have the Asics Japan S for those, which is also much cheaper.
Footlocker have them restocked
Aasics japan s😂😂😂 ICKK
Air Force ones hold a lot more wait culturally wise compared to any other shoe
Do you know if these model it's going to be always on store or it´s limited or sth like that. Srry for bad english, greetings from Peru.
No se terminan tan rápido, pero una vez que se acaba ese modelo, ya no hay más. Tienes que esperar a que lancen otro. Saludos.
FYI the classics are harder to find because most buy um 2 or 3 at a time.im from nyc and I buy both.one for when I need um crispy the crafts I can wear to work when I'm doing alot of walking.cleaning is easy for both spray on some reshovn8r stain and water repellent and you'll be ok.
How do I hide my laces like you did? Please do video on it
Was wearing ultraboosts for 2 yrs, got myself a couple of pairs of Jordan 1‘s and af1’s
A huge difference
Like... in a good way, or what?
Hype beast 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
You killed me when you creased the air force one's
I have since purchased crease protectors. But I was literally wearing these right out of the box, so the creasing action was not really avoidable for shots like this
“I was all up for Air Force ones… why???” Because I love vulturing off culture.
Facts then he gone have the nerves to say they only cool if they’re all white. Like says who? Get this guy outta here.
They shoes bruh
Are yours half a size down? I buy half a size down as they run big
Craft win, first time ever I put a Air Force on and I’m ready to go. No rubbing pain
nah bruh af1’s are one of those fashion sneakers that look like trash when dirty and balled up. Some sneakers look good after wear but not this one.
thats in the opposite lmao, af1's looks dope asf when they are dirty wdym

ppl like the vintage look now so sometimes them being beat aren’t that bad depending on how beat they are
when I die, bury me with 07 crafts on
🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ Na bury me in one of my Italian shoes
In the bahamas we put a lil piece of plastic bag in the toe to keep it from creasing!
Yeah, Pete bought some crease protectors but hey didn't arrive until a few days after we shot the video.
I love that he said to get air forces and make sure not to get dunk lows instead. That didn’t age well.
dunks lows are overrated
Not a fan of either shoes but when anvil rose cut both in half the AF1s were made with real leather and much better built, contrary to the dunk lows.
@@Desmo25 my man wears tns
@@leo._.25 Nike TNS? Hell no 😂. I prefer Timbs and Air Max.
I wanna keep them clean so I would go with the og’s
crafts are 90$ rn and the regular af1s are 100. should i just get the crafts?
Can you compare the standard air force 1 with the new air force 1 Crater Fly Knit pls?
We actually don't have the standard AF1's anymore because Pete decided to keep the Crafts instead.
@@slickdeals no problem man, I just wanted to know if the new AF 1 with the fly knit are worth the 20€ extra, theres really not many reviews online so ya, anyway thank u for the answer, keep up the good work💪🏻
@@davii_ms I messaged Pete since he's on vacation right now and he responded...
"IMO the upper will probably be softer but they don’t even look like AF1s because they aren’t leather. And I imagine they would be really difficult to keep clean, but you could probably run them through a washing machine since there is no leather.
I can’t say they are worth the extra money. IMO they should be cheaper but what you’re paying for with these is new materials/design.
Because Nike can’t make these in the same factory line as a regular pair of AF1s, you have to pay a premium."
@@slickdeals Thank u so much! gotta search a little more, maybe try to find them in store to give it a test, anyway thank u for the suport!
If your size is 6 and less you can consider to buy Af1 lvl 8 big kids it has a just do it design, pink nike logo and red Nike Air on the back sewd, it looks pretty cool and its the same leather as the craft, except the lases, but it has a nike logo instead of the Af1 on the laces is 10x better in my opinion and it's only 90$. I have the regular 90$ Af1 and compared to the lvl 8 it is more comfortable, the inside and the outside is feel wonderful it feels like you have your feet on cotton and the regular ones feel like kind of plastic. Ohh and the heel it's not white it's brown leather, but it's still pretty cool.
Big boys version is always inferior and the fit is narrower. Don't buy big boys or kids versions of your want same quality and/or fit. If you don't care for that, then go ahead
Intro had me check the title ha
Yo wth, didn't notice it's the same dude until 3:20 haha
The orginal AF1 has been the most popular white shoe in Chicago forever.. & I mean forever!
Thoes crafts look good tho...never heard of them til now 👍
That makes sense! Are the Jordan 1s also really popular in Chicago? I'd imagine they would be, considering Michael Jordan's presence and influence? - Pete
@@slickdeals Yeah bro the Jordan 1s are popular too. Everybody seems to like Jordan 1s, like alot of cities. But nothing is more propular than them white forces. Every since I was shorty thoes have been the go-tos
@@Keezy59 exact same as you explained in Denmark, too.
@@Keezy59 af1 is normally cheaper than a Jordan 1 these days. And that explains why in Chicago, big shoe culture and just an attempt to have a clean outfit style
Smart to put this as an ad
We didn't talk about maintenance, like how hard it would be to clean both.
Checks over stripes. That’s what I like
After buying the crafts, I'd only buy the 07's to cut grass in and look fly doing it lol
Finally somebody said it, soft leather is so much better
Stan Smith all day baby, they used to be the official sneaker of LA but in the past 2 years AF1s are taking over.
I like both but air force ones been iconic because rappers helped blow them up
This man creased the hell out them shoes lol
:hide:
Pete did buy some crease guards after we shot this episode but we didn't have time to order any before the shoot. Sorry haha.
I’m different I wear black AF1S I’m trynna be different from the “ white af1s”
I couldn't buy a regular pair of airforce ones at the mall or online for months. I was like "screw it" and I got the crafts. I never want to go back to the regulars.
So are they good???
I'm planning to get a Craft one too they sure are unique and not so popular since where I am all the af1's are sold out why not!? I love shoes that aren't so popular anyways
@@timbayt0438 yes they are well worth it. The quality is way better. Plus it's a shoe not everyone else has
First time looking at Air Force ones and I’m like “90?!” It’s 115 at least now. 3 years later.
We saw them earlier this month for $52.50 (not in all white though). That said, yeah... prices have generally gone up since we made the video.

Is there a difference between the air force 1 '07 men and women?
No, not really. If you've noticed women wearing AF1s that look slightly different, that's because there are a lot of unique AF1 models that are women-exclusive, like the sage, fontanka, pixel, etc.
You’re like a combination between Frankie Muniz and Aaron Paul ❤️
I heard they run half size bigger. Is that true??
Bro you’re creasing the heck out of those 😩
Our crease guards didn't arrive until a few days after we shot this :/
Wait, what about the AF1 PRM(Premium)?
Laughs in acronym lunar force 1 bought at retail 😂😂😂
Como y donde los puedo adquirir???
Have you ever thought that they are called “craft” because its a better material to paint over 🙃
Are the men and women versions the same for af1 07? Is there any differences at all?
No, there's no difference as long as they are the 07's (except for sizing differences between men's and women's shoes).
Back in the Golden era of hip hop (90s till 2000s) the lows where for women and mids and highs where for men. Not really but they literally would only come out low for women but low mid and high for everyone else. Now they seem to make only lows.
Good production
Not the best for wide feet! Bought mine for $70 last week. Nike Vandals were better but no longer available and if you do have some it's very expensive. Originals from Terminator movie.
They are better for wide feet
just bought a pair of Nike Af1 paid $99.23 at foot locker I am in Chicago I got a big blister in the back my heels they seem to take forever to break in
😂😂 it’s so funny hearing noobs cry about the growing pains of wearing ones
I like the white af1s with a black logo
Wow this was good
What does the AF1 fresh feel like?
As i know they are softer then the regular one but are easyer to damage and crease and also lower quality, from Rose anvil video
No let’s be honest abt the laces, they are the worst example of “high quality”, turn stiff at the bends of it, and dirty extremely easy!
What kind of leather they use on the Craft AF1s?
All I could find was "Full-Grain Leather and Suede". Sorry that's not too helpful.
@@slickdeals sounds good to me! Thank you
which one are you guys gonna get? I can't decide
Pete kept the Crafts ;)
@@slickdeals nice, and the other Pete?
@@railwaygun9602 He just seemed to disappear :/ sorry. I'd assume he also got them though.
Its £90 here which makes it more than $90 :(
when people pronounce adidas as "adeedas" but what's even worse is that you got people that pronounce is at "ad i das"
they need to make sneaker to not crease on the front
Wear the right size and keep them stuffed at night. Ya noob.
How does he talk about durability of a shoe without talking about creasing?
That was the whole reason I spoke about durability. I'm sorry I didn't specifically say "creasing," but the points I made hold true to the whole creasing issue. Because the Crafts are softer leather, they crease a lot easier/faster but it's not as bad in a sense as the harder leather on the OG AF1s. Once you get creases in them, they're done.
Still, I kept the Crafts and I have crease protectors in them. I'd recommend the same to anyone buying either pair, if you can stand it.
--Pete
I have a pair of crafts and the normal ones. The crafts are so much more comfortable.
which one is more durable? which one wrinkled more?
i have the same question
Black and red are the best ones but white go hard the adidas I use to skate
Yes it is
Gore Tex af’s r way better and around the same price.
For sneakerheads I'd prefer the dunk lows tbh
Love the crafts
Pete would agree. He ended up keeping that pair for himself.
