At one point, there were plenty of fake Air Force 1's decked out with Gucci print on ebay. Nowadays however, the nickname "Gucci" usually signifies a black/red/green/white colorway when applied to sneakers. Otherwise, this is a pretty ordinary pair of Ones. Resale shouldn't jump too high on these, so rock 'em fearlessly when it gets rainy out!
MATERIALS: The uppers are all leather; the panel around the swoosh has a more spongy textured leather type material. The midsole is white with matching stitching and a green outsole. These came with white flat laces, I swapped them out for a little bit fatter white laces. I've found that drawing more attention to the top of the shoe in this way diminishes the somewhat clunky visual effect of the thick soles.
FEATURES: These have no special features and are named after the resemblance to the signature colorway for Gucci.
STREET VALUE: retail
MY NOTES ON ACTUALLY WEARING THESE: Like most AF1's, these shoes are very comfortable. These are definitely going to crease on the toebox but otherwise should be a breeze to keep clean due to the smooth leather upper which is also mostly black. A quick wipe down after a day of rocking these and they will look almost new again. These are basically a winter shoe given the mostly dark colors but the white and red parts add enough pop to wear the shoe in other times of year as well.
