Originally designed for performance on the hardwood, Nike Air cushioning adds lightweight, all-day comfort. The classic low-cut silhouette gives a pared-back look. The Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 Ballistic Mesh Black University Gold covers the AF 1 low-top silhouette in black with subtle accents in Yellow Ochre. The Ballistic Mesh Black University Gold Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 features black mesh on the base and the tongue, providing durability and a ballistic feel. Full-grain leather adds premium accents to the overlays, the toe box, and the heel tab. Although the signature Swoosh logo is crafted from black leather, it features an outline in Yellow Ochre. Additional Yellow Ochre accents can be found on the "NIKE AIR AIR FORCE 1" lettering on the tongue tag and the small Swoosh logos. Our experts like the choice of Dark Smoke Grey on the midsole. It represents a departure from the all-black colorway and gives the sneaker a refined aesthetic. The Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 Ballistic Mesh Black University Gold was originally released on February 8, 2024, and was priced at $125.

FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for intense sports?
While the AF1 was originally designed for basketball, this specific model is intended primarily as a lifestyle trainer.
How do I clean the mesh portion?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a lightly dampened cloth with mild cleaner for deeper stains, taking care not to saturate the mesh.
Does this model fit true to size?
The Nike Air Force 1 series generally runs consistent with standard Nike sizing, though it is recommended to test your specific UK size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the leather and mesh materials.
What is the significance of the Ballistic Mesh?
Ballistic mesh is a high-density synthetic weave known for high abrasion resistance and durability.
Are the Yellow Ochre accents permanent?
Yes, these are part of the original colorway design and are durable enough for standard daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or dirt in the mesh weave
Use a dry, soft-bristled toothbrush to gently agitate and lift debris from the mesh gaps.
Creasing on the leather toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and reduce depth of creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard AF1 fit. Ensure you verify your UK sizing (this model is specific to UK size 9) to ensure optimal comfort.
Care Instructions: To preserve the ballistic mesh, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid submerging the shoes in water. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for leather sections, and ensure they air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
