Well done work boot-inspired pair of AF1 highs, coming in a deep burgundy colorway, premium leather and two-toned round laces staying true to the boot aesthetic. My only gripe is the white soles. I don’t like the use of them in current “designer work boots,” and it doesn’t fair much better on sneakers. A darker sole, a la the legendary Boulder Highs and Nike could have scored a few points.
Possible January release but Tier 0. If you can’t wait or know your options are limited, score from Kasina.

Gone. Looked last night.
already? damn. I had the post yesterday but didn’t feel like troubling w/it. dah well, they’ll pop up.
barf.
Tumbled leather, oh how I miss you so. Please come back. My life’s not the same without you. I’ll do whatever it takes to get you back
You right about the sole. Lightweight fail. I still kinda like ‘em. I’d get ‘em for a reasonable price
Pretty dope, but I got to agree on the sole…it’s weak..
I think the leather will hold up and the styling is on point. that sole just negates points. Right now and for the past few years, I’ve gotten further away from white and clear soles b/c the yellowing/dirtying irks me. So you went from having a functional, fashionable shoe here to just having a fashionable one. Anything over a $100-120 price point = not worth it, at least to me. I can think of too many shoes w/a similar look that were built to last a little longer than these will.
These are illy—too bad they’re Tier 0.
As far as the white soles go, I love em. Hong Kongs are one of the dopest pair of Forces ever to me, and mainly b/c of the white midsole/sole combo. It doesn’t always look good, but here it works in my opinion.
And as far as them getting dirty, that’s why you cop 2 pairs if at all possible!
The white sole FTL!
great, yeah probably would be better with a gum colored sole tho.
saw Dan Murphy and Justin Brock (Nike SB pros)(name drops) last night. I think i pissed Dan off… Anyway point is TSS needs some more SB posts.
they should have either a gum sole or even same color as the shoe.
i know they are gonna drop at like 135 or 185 those are the price points for af1′s high tops.
not sure if i’ll cop but we’ll see.
