All Day Comfortable
It doesn't matter much to me if a sneaker is labeled as men's or women's. I look for style and comfort. These Nike Air Force 1 React fit well, are comfortable, and have just a pop of color. I am partial to white sneakers, but sometimes you just need a little pink. In the first week of wearing these, I received compliments from three people who noticed them. First time I can remember ever getting a compliment on my footwear, and I received multiple. I generally wear a 10, but I got a 10.5 in these and they fit just right. The tongue stays put with the help of the side elastic that holds it to the base. The first thing I do when I get home is take off my shoes. These are so comfortable that I want to keep these on even after a long day of being on my feet. I really ... MoreIt doesn't matter much to me if a sneaker is labeled as men's or women's.

Comfortably Pink
STYLEI never imagined myself as a kind of person that would buy a shoe like this. When it first arrived, I was hesitant about wearing it, because Air Force 1's have never been my style. The more I looked at them, the more I grew to like the way they looked. The texture, patterns, materials, and colors go together so well. The see-through grid mesh like material is so unique from anything I have, and it just works. The hot pink also not something I typically would be drawn to, but again, it just looks so good with this shoe.COMFORTThese shoes are surprisingly comfortable, in not only the cushion, but the materials, the way is holds the foot, and the heel drop. First, the cushioning is perfect. It is just enough to not be annoying, but not too little that it ... MoreSTYLEI never imagined myself as a kind of person that would buy a shoe like this.

First, the cushioning is perfect. It is just enough to not be annoying, but not too little that it makes my heel hurt. Second, the materials on the inside are soft and do not rub in annoying ways against my feet. Third, the worst way the shoe wraps around the foot, keeping it snug without being too tight, is amazing. This is much better than past Nike shoe's that I have worn. Lastly, I love that there is very little heel drop in the shoe. I have always preferred little heel drop to prevent my shins from hurting, and these shoes are perfect.CONCLUSIONWearing these for a full day is sublime. The hot pink is the only thing preventing me from wearing them everyday since it does not go with every outfit. This is not a negative thing either. There is not anything glaring that I would change about the shoe either. Overall, I love these shoes and look forward to wearing them more.... Show more

Flawless Design
I love the look of the Nike Air Force 1 React and that it can be worn with casual attire or to the gym and I appreciate the versatility of the design for that reason. The color scheme got my attention and the attention of strangers who complimented the hot pink pops of color. The clear window on the sides wasn’t as transparent as I thought from my initial impression so it allowed the look to change just slightly depending on my sock preferences.Another part I love is the texture that Nike added to these shoes, the clear portion has a raised grid design that is subtle but is also pleasing to look at.The fit was true to size for the Nike brand, which was no surprise there as all of my Nike shoes fit as expected.

The initial fit felt so plush inside the shoe. It was well-padded and felt like it was going to provide adequate support for activities around town or in the gym. Another surprise was how plush the tongue of the Air Force 1 is and how much more comfort it brings to the overall experience.This shoe didn’t require much breaking in at all, I could throw them on and run errands all day without any foot pain or spots rubbing.I wouldn’t change a thing about these shoes or their design, I highly recommend them and have already had my friends asking what they are so they can order their own pair!...

At first sight, out of the box, the shoes are eye catching. I liked the contrast of white leather and plastic mesh fabric, bright pink accents and a gummy rear sole. Only Nike can take a timeless shoe like the classic white Air Force 1, recreate it and dare I say, make it better!Upon wearing the shoes for the first 10 minutes, they were comfortable and felt like I was walking on pillows, maybe due to the pink cushiony foam under the shoes. However, after wearing them for longer periods of time, such as 4 hours or more, the shoes seemed uncomfortable. They started to feel too narrow. I felt pressure from the sides of the feet, at the bottom and on top where the laces are.If I could change something, I would add more foam to the insole of the shoes to make them ...

I would also keep the Nike swoosh on both sides of the shoes, like the original Air Force 1’s. I don’t like that on this shoe, it’s just on the outer part of the shoe.While the shoes look great, they are not as comfortable as I had hoped, unfortunately.... Show more

Nice Air Force Ones
I love the pink accent on these shoes! Style and design wise I give this shoe a very high rating. The color combo looks so cool altogether and the pink accent really makes the shoe unique and nice in design. I would consider changing the clear bottom of the shoe to one that is all white like the front so that it doesn’t get dirty quickly, but otherwise it looks great!The comfort level is good but not great. My feet felt supported by the nice cushion bottom but the toe box felt a little stiff. I wish there was more flexibility in the shoe when walking around or moving around in it all day. I think that if it was more bendable that it would feel nicer on the toes.I walked in the shoes all day and they felt rather good. I even wore them to work all day where I am on ...

I even wore them to work all day where I am on my feet most of the entire day. Towards the end I could feel the sides of my feet needing a break from the stiffness of it but overall not bad at all. The size of the shoe was perfect and what I expected. I like the look and feel of the shoe in general and would recommend it to my friends. I think my favorite part is the color combo and design of the shoe and that pink accent that makes it sound out in a great way!... Show more

Pleasantly Surprised
I originally planned to give these shoes to my son, who wears a men's 8 and loves the style of Air Force 1s. However, when they arrived we realized they had some very bright pink highlights throughout the shoe that just weren't quite his style. They are absolutely my style though and I happen to wear a 9.5 in women's shoes so they fit me perfectly! I've never been a huge fan of the Air Force 1 style, but the way they designed these is great. The pops of color are easily noticed against the bright white of the body of the shoe, and I love that it gives my outfits a bit of fun. They are comfortable and seem as though they will be quite durable. I really appreciate that they are so versatile as well. I feel confident to wear them for everyday wear, or if I need to get ...

No, but if I want to spend the day walking around a theme park or going to a Tulip Farm, these are comfortable enough to wear the whole time. I also can use these to dress my outfits up a little bit, while still maintaining the comfort. Overall, while I am disappointed these didn't work for my son, I'm ecstatic to have finally found a pair that work me!... Show more

Quality shoe, but has an odd instep fit
When I first put on the Air Force 1 React, it was a little difficult to get on even after loosening the laces. I have a high instep and wider feet and these were snug around the instep. The length was fine and my toes had room. Arch and heel support is solid. The heel is quite cushioned and gives great shock absorption and pretty good ankle support for being a lower cut. It’s very comfortable aside from rubbing on my instep.If you have a high instep or wide feet, I would definitely recommend trying them on in store. The tongue is the cause of this. There is an elastic support on either side of the tongue that are attached to the insert, so they cannot be removed. Additionally, the tongue has a thick padding that’s quilted, it kinda reminds me of a cleat. If you ...

There is an elastic support on either side of the tongue that are attached to the insert, so they cannot be removed. Additionally, the tongue has a thick padding that’s quilted, it kinda reminds me of a cleat. If you have average width feet, this may not be a problem for you and the extra support may be desired if you’re going to use this as an athletic shoe as opposed to a coordinating, fashion/lifestyle shoe. I could see this being beneficial for something like skateboarding. But because of the thickness, it’s challenging wearing it comfortably all day because it makes the shoe tight. It may be able to be broken in with time, but at this point, I cannot comment on that. However, the shoe does not rub any other part of my foot. Just the instep.The design and quality of the shoe is what I would expect from Nike. The materials are durable and quality. It was engineered very thoughtfully with both the aesthetics and function in mind, notably in the sole. The hot pink accent not only looks good, but it provides a solid cushion/bounce. The translucent material behind the swoosh offers interest and is made of a sort of mesh so it’s breathable. It’s borderline devastating when you wear white shoes like this and get your first scuff, but the material easily wipes clean. Even though I wear a size 12, the shoe does not look bulky or disproportionate.Overall, the Air Force 1 React is a quality shoe with slick style and support. You could definitely use this as an athletic shoe or lifestyle shoe and feel confident that you will be comfortable being active or just doing your daily activities. I just wish the support on the tongue had the option to be removed.... Show more

Sturdy and stylish
So, I typically wear a running shoe, which are extremely lightweight and flexible. As such, wearing the Air Force 1 React for the first time, I instantly noticed how much sturdier and rigid the shoe felt. The sole of the shoe is thick, making me noticeably taller. I’ve never had shoes make my overall stature and balance feel rock solid like these kicks - definitely my favorite feature. And, because of their durability, I could wear these shoe all day with maximum comfort.The design of the shoe is on the bleeding edge of style. I like the translucent material, juxtaposed a small, tasteful pop of hot pink. With that said, these shoes are really, really white- like blinding white. After a single stroll around the block, they began showing dirt, and unfortunately, ... MoreSo, I typically wear a running shoe, which are extremely lightweight and flexible.

In order to maintain these fresh white gems out of the box, you’d have to be incredibly careful where you wear them- only safe places or indoors. Because cleaning my shoes after each use isn’t a practical way for me to live, I probably wouldn’t go for the mostly white show again, but I acknowledge that was my fault. Otherwise, I highly recommend.... Show more

The Next Step for AF1s
I was very impressed with the fit and feel of the shoe. The fit was true to size and the materials felt lightweight yet supportive. The design was modern and stylish, making it a great choice for everyday wear. The react foam cushioning was very comfortable for long days when I'm on my feet, and the breathable mesh helped keep my feet cool and dry.What I liked most about this shoe was the combination of style, comfort and versatility. The pink color has a real pop and the lightweight materials kept my legs feeling light and unstrained. I also really enjoyed the "shadow" logo to give a nice 3d effect on the sides.

Tight and bright
I immediately noticed how snug these fit. Great if you have a narrow to average toe box. I'm used to a more relaxed fit, but these were still more comfortable than anything else I own. The pink accent isn't my favorite color, though it is sparse enough not to bother me, and other people commented how much they liked it. I experienced much less fatigue carrying around my kids than I typically do. They were comfortable all day long and didn't stretch out even after 8 hours of play. There is no 'give' in the tongue even when they're untied. I had to manually loosen the laces several eyelets down everytime I wanted to put these on, but that might be accomplished with a different lacing pattern. I love how light these are, especially for how supportive they are.... Show more
