In graffiti language, to say something is clean means the detailing is flawless. The AF1 Highs look clean but have some internal flaws some of you may consider major.

Style

These kicks look so squeaky clean that I was afraid to touch them when they arrived. There is more detail in these babies than in the photos from the Japanese store that sent them to me. They have super fine embroidery on the calves and overall these kicks are extremely well made. The Nike Air Force 1 Highs look great with a dress or simple leggings. Stylish these are and though I'm not an Air Force 1 fan, I'd wear these without hesitation.

Comfort and Fit

I put these on and ran up and down a flight of stairs. When I took them off, I had a red band around my ankles. It's ashame they have to hurt! Plus, even though I only had them on for less than twenty minutes, I felt so suffocated. These kicks look good, but they need to allow your feet to breathe. I can't imagine having these on for a night out, I'd be the one making everyone go home early just so I can take them off. They fit alright, but they're somewhat uncomfortable.

Design

These shoes are well designed externally but are a bit bulky. You can easily balance them out if you wear something really simple. The silver accents, intricate embroidery, and the clean whiteness, give these a thumbs up in design. I'll just say it, these are made to walk on the moon.
