FAQs

What makes this Air Force 1 different from the classic version?

This model is part of Virgil Abloh's "The 10" collection and features a deconstructed aesthetic. Key differences include ripstop and suede materials, taped seams, exposed foam on the tongue, and unique zigzag stitching on the Swoosh.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of ripstop and suede materials.

How should I clean the exposed foam elements?

Gently brush the foam with a soft brush. For dirtier areas, a melamine foam eraser can be used very carefully. Avoid soaking the shoe.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While built on the comfortable Air Force 1 base, this shoe is primarily a fashion and collector's item. It is best suited for casual wear rather than intense athletic activities.

What does 'The 10' refer to?

'The 10' refers to Virgil Abloh's initial groundbreaking collaboration with Nike, which reimagined ten iconic Nike silhouettes, including the Air Force 1.

What is the significance of the 'LOGO' on the heel tab?

The 'LOGO' inscription on the heel tab is a meta-commentary element typical of Virgil Abloh's design language, playing with branding and perception.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these in wet conditions due to the suede material and exposed foam, which can be easily damaged by moisture.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks worn or dirty.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Apply a suede protector spray for future prevention.

Exposed foam is accumulating dirt.

Gently brush the foam with a soft-bristled brush. For tougher marks, use a melamine foam eraser (magic eraser) very carefully, as it can be abrasive.

Stitching on the Swoosh appears loose.

Do not attempt to re-stitch yourself unless you have experience, as it may alter the original design. If significantly loose and bothersome, consult a professional shoe repair service that specializes in sneaker restoration.

Colors fading from prolonged sun exposure.

Store the sneakers away from direct sunlight. If fading has occurred, there is no direct fix, but cleaning and conditioning may slightly improve appearance.

  • Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to maintain its texture. Protect with a suede protector spray.
