    I had a pair of black air force ones that I used as work shoes and later toured in my old punk band with, I probably wore those shoes for 2 years straight, about a year ago I gave them to a local homeless guy cause we had the same shoe size, he still is wearing that pair of shoes every time I see him

    The stereotype is humorous more than anything 😅. I could care less, it's a great shoe. I'm wearing whatever I want to fit my fit. Period. And I'm one of the chillest people you can meet. I'm walking away from a fight before engaging. I want to live life like Christ.

    As a food worker, we look for shoes that you can’t tell are dirty. Black on black shoes work best for hiding dirtiness. That’s how I think AF1’s got such a bad rep: anybody who was homeless or nasty wanted to hide the grime with black shoes. As bill burr said, “if his sneakers are F’d-up then his life is F’d-up.” People who have given up on their lives also west black shoes because they don’t want to clean them or have people notice that they’re filthy.

Now it's black AF1 for work and crime. Kids sneer at my AF1 highs and go around in fuckin Yeezys. Makes a Croc look like fine design. Time moves on.

    its a really good and well priced shoe that looks good at every level of beat-upness, creaseness and cleanliness. it being a very black shoe hides its true condition at an initial glance. it could have the blood of a hundred dudes in them and it would never show on Black airforce ones. It just so happens to be a very comfortable and well fit running shoe in a pinch. You could do all the parkour and running and juking you could ever want in these. When you combine a good running shoe with a color that makes aesthetic repair a non issue (guy in the rap video just sprays the shoe), you end up with a good utilitarian shoe. if its a good utilitarian shoe, you can bet there will be someone somewhere doing crime wearing it. Think the Muramasa and ppls thoughts on those back then or the AR 15 today. Thats what a black airforce one is in the same way.

    Black air forces, in the early 2000 with black tee was a gangsta outfit. Therefore when they had their most recent run, people who remember the gritty aesthetic of the black AF1. We wore white airforces wit white tees, and black air forces with black tees. Black was the color for committing crimes, hence the joke. People take it too literally.

    this whole video is a waste of misinformation, its just a known fact that black af1 was always a hood fav, it’s a known fact a large majority % of people prefer the white af1 as it just signifies “being fresh looking fly looking clean” it’s hard to explain this as it was just a thing that was never brought to life aka social media attention. In a short summary it’s a stereotype that was made into a meme on the internet, half of the memes are corny and super exaggerated especially calling it a “school shooter” shoe. I specifically remember seeing a story from (I think a sports player) in 2017, reading “i don’t care how hard life gets I’ll never wear black af1” proof some people saw the back af1 as a eh to some.
