Ways to Wear: Nike Air Force Ones

Ways to Wear: Nike Air Force Ones

Jun 28, 2022

If you’ve ever owned a pair of Uptowns, you know that there’s no one right way to wear them. For sneakerheads and the streetwear style-obsessed who’ve somehow managed to be missing a Nike Air Force one from their wardrobes, styling this basketball-turned-fashion footwear icon might be challenging.

Don’t overthink it. Whether you decide to sport a classic White/White colorway or something with a little more dimension, styling your Toe-to-Head Force fit should be simple. Consider how you would style similar chunky low-top sneakers and go from there.

For a little bit of outfit inspiration, see how some of our Hibbett | City Gear crew and customers are wearing their favorite Air Force Ones.

Nike Toe-to-Head

There are plenty of holidays throughout the year that call for red, white and blue fits. This Hibbett store employee is ready to show up with a case of glass bottled sodas and a frisbee at your Fourth of July BBQ in this Toe-to-Head Nike AF1 look.

Uptowns for Nights Downtown

Every woman needs a little black dress in her wardrobe. Personally, the more little black dress the better.

Naturally, there’s your little black dress for clubbing and your revenge dress, but the most versatile little black dress in your closet should be one that’s sleek, flattering for your physique, and can easily transition from mid-morning coffee with the crew to happy hours drinks and food trucks in the evening.

It makes perfect sense then to pair your easiest-to-style little black dress with your easiest-to-style sneakers: Air Force Ones.

Then complete the look with a pair of OG AF1s, or add a little something extra to your fit with one of these newer styles:

Quality Campus Kicks

Streetwear styles like cargo pants and Uptowns are perfect wardrobe essentials for high schoolers and college freshmen who are looking for an outfit that appears to have taken no time to throw together, yet is so effortlessly cool that it can’t help but turn heads.

Forces and Floral Prints

One way to spruce up a bright all-white platform Air Force 1 is to pair it with an eye-catching print, like the floral ensemble seen sported below. Nike’s “Garden Party” features unique colorblocking, a mix of floral patterns and a burnt orange, black and pink color palette.

Relax. Wear Air Force Ones.

So far, you’ve seen Air Force 1 worn with shorts, a dress and cargo pants, but if your personal style aligns more with ultra-casual fashion or athleisure, this last look might be right up your alley.

Low-top Nike Forces wear well with bottoms that are tapered or synched at the ankle. Think joggers, tapered jeans… or sweatpants!
