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 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.

While AF1s generally run big, going with your usual size provides extra room around the toe box. However, the roomier fit around the toe box area might be more prone to creasing. If you prefer the classic laced-up look, consider going down half a size from your regular Nike size.
