Air Foce 1 Protech University Gold (waterproof)

            I loved the colorway and bought these in this Feb for under 7000 yen.  

It's been a real long time since my last AF1 purchase, but I love this pair. 

These are really practical shoes; really well made, really cute on foot, feel extremely tough. I think these are simply outstanding shoes! I got really impressed with the upper quality of these shoes when I first saw them in person. And I just couldn't resist them.  The materials are great, the comfort level is better than the most other AF1's I still own. The colorway is gorgeous. And they are waterproof.   Some of the most practical AF1's or any type of Nike shoes available today.

I think the AF1 Pro-Tech series is really super underrated.  I think I will get the all-black pair in this series too as the price goes down a bit (I know the black and grey go sell very soon). 

I think most AF1's fit a bit long but this specific series of shoes do not fit like the rest of my other types of Air Force 1's, I think they are TTS shoes. 

Also, the leather upper feels much better than the other type of AF1's and they do not seem to crease as much as the other AF1's or Jordan 1 Low's I own.  I am not sure, but the midsole of these shoes feels a bit more responsive than the other types of AF1's.   Maybe it is some placebo effect, but I think they have a bit of zoom air unit inside the midsole rubber. And so, I think they feel a bit more comfortable than the other type of classic Nike shoes. 

The swooshes are also very unique, embossed not stitched, and I think it is better as the swooshes are the same good full grain leather as the main upper material and that completes the waterproofness of this series of AF1 shoes.  

Finally, the QC on these seems to be fine, nothing wrong on this pair.   I think these are a massively underrated series of shoes.  I think I will keep them for the upcoming super annoying rainy season and wet summer here. 

UPDATE: I may order the black version of these too, they are really comfy shoes for a pair of AF1 low, and they are waterproofed and so for me the most practical shoes ever for the coming rainy season.
