Nike Air Force 1: More than just a hoop shoe
The Nike Air Force 1 has dropped bombs on the music scene and sneaker culture. But let’s be real, rocking a pair of pristine white AF1s is a commitment. Practice the following habits if you’re tired of replacing your kicks every other month.
Avoid Direct Sunlight Exposure
Don’t let the sun fool you. While it might feel like a natural way to dry your kicks, sunlight can actually damage your white AF1s. Think of it like how your skin gets sunburned.
If your shoes need a little air, find a shady spot with good ventilation. And remember, a shoe tree can help keep their shape while they dry.

Practice Proper Storage Habits
Your front door is a sneaker’s worst enemy. It’s like leaving your favorite shirt out in the rain. The changing weather and harsh sunlight can really do a number on your kicks.
Keep your AF1s safe in a shoebox or cabinet with a dehumidifier.
If you don’t have a box, try stuffing them with Dryers and storing them in a breathable shoe bag. This will help keep them dry and smelling fresh.
Prevent Excessive Heel Drag
AF1s are known for their iconic silhouette. But that doesn’t mean it’s indestructible. The heel is where the “Air” cushioning lives, and if it gets worn down, the whole shoe can fall apart.
To protect your heels, try using protective films, making sure your shoes fit properly, and lacing them up tight.
You can also use a heel repair kit with a bonding primer to give your kicks some extra life.
Beyond the iconic Air Force 1s, the longevity of your kicks can fluctuate wildly based on your wear-and-tear habits. Does this resonate? Follow our guide, and your sneakers will feel the love, with a noticeable reduction in wear and tear.
