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.

Air Force 1s generally run big due to the roomy toe box, which allows for a relaxed fit. We recommend selecting a half-size smaller than your usual Nike shoe size. However, if you have wide feet, you can go with your usual Nike size without having to size down. The shoes get roomier as you break them in.

On a Nike third-quarter earnings call earlier this week, CFO Matt Friend indicated that the brand would cut back production of the model. The reasoning behind the decision was twofold: first, to make space for newer products in the Nike lineup, second to ensure the Air Force 1 doesn't suffer from oversaturation.
