Authentic Forces have evenly spaced holes all over the toe box area, and there are 4 lines of horizontal stitching between the perforations and the metal AF1 tag. Counterfeit red flags: slightly square-like perforations that aren't fully punched out.

The main difference between the AF1 and AF1 '07 is visible in the shoe sole, materials and fashion. For instance, the sole on the '07 is just slightly higher. Whereas the AF1 deliberately opted for a classic basketball look, so no fuss, the AF1 '07 did opt for different materials.

The brand doesn't plan to do away with the sneaker, but wants to reduce the amount of Air Force 1′s that go on sale. The company also plans to make way for new designs, such as a new version of the Pegasus sneaker, Peg 41.

1. Iconic design : Since its launch in 1982, the Air Force 1 has maintained a distinctive and timeless design that has captured the attention of consumers for decades. 2. Versatility : These sneakers are versatile and adapt to a variety of styles and occasions, from sports to casual fashion.
