Our verdict

With its well-grounded legacy in the hip-hop and Jordans scene, the Nike Hollywood All-Star Pack Air Force 1 is an instantly recognisable silhouette. We adore its clean leather profile that can be styled with anything - from laidback outfits to business casual suits. Considering its quality and longevity, we also find the AF 1 07 a very reasonably priced piece. Its elegance lies in the shoe's low-key and practical appeal.

Who should NOT buy

We've got two main knocks on the Nike Hollywood All-Star Pack Air Force 1:

  • it is too heavy for comfortable all-day wear
  • Nike Sapato Court Visionw BE

nike kobe 11 elite low usa for sale Nike Air Max 1 offers a much more supportive underfoot experience for long hours on the feet and the Nike Renew Run 3 Xialing has a much more flexible design.

Heel stack

The high topline of the Nike Hollywood All-Star Pack Air Force 1's cupsole makes it look like a platform sneaker but in fact, it has an average stack height.

nike air force 1 07 heel stack 21532674 main

Measuring its thickness with a calliper returned 31.7 mm. That's a typical heel stack for lifestyle trainers. Not among the tallest.

Forefoot stack

In the shoe's forefoot measurement, our calliper measured 17.2 mm of stack height which is actually a bit thinner than average.

But because the Air Max unit takes up about 3/4 of the shoe's length, it reaches the balls of our feet as well, adding a nice touch of cushioning.

Drop

At first glance, the Nike Hollywood All-Star Pack Air Force 1 has a very steep heel-to-toe drop. Based on our calliper measurements alone, it comes in at 14.5 mm.

nike air force 1 07 drop 21532677 main

But because the Air unit and the rubber pillars underneath it compress under pressure, the offset becomes more balanced when the shoe is on foot.

Slight elevation of the heel above the toes made us feel comfortably supported taking the strain off our Achilles tendons.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

The nearly full-length Air unit inside the AF1 adds comfort and responsiveness to the otherwise rigid platform.

We were also surprised to find that the foam around the Air unit is more on the soft side. Pressing our durometer against it returned 20.9 HA which is 40% softer than the average sneaker midsole!

Nike Nike Hollywood All-Star Pack Air Force 1 Midsole softness

These two components make the direct underfoot experience quite pleasant. But the AF1 is NOT a plush shoe by any means!

The foam and the Air unit are encased in a firm and solid cupsole construction which has little-to-no give to it. That's why the Nike Hollywood All-Star Pack Air Force 1, as a whole feels firm.

Having poured a gel mould of the shoe's interiors, we measured it widest part with a calliper. The tool showed a standard reading of 91.3 mm so you can expect nothing less than a normal D medium width.

Stability

Lateral stability test

The Nike Hollywood All-Star Pack Air Force 1 made us feel like our foot was sitting inside a tank.

It is an incredibly stiff, sturdy, and structured sneaker that keeps the foot and ankle very firmly in place.

Nike Nike Hollywood All-Star Pack Air Force 1 vs Nike Renew Run 3 Xialing profile

Its cupsole walls are pretty tall embracing the foot from the bottom while the collar sits a bit higher up the ankle compared to most low-top trainers.

Torsional rigidity

Attempting to twist the AF1 07 with our hands yielded no results.

This Nike sneaker has an impressively high level of torsional rigidity earning it the highest score on our stiffness scale.

We believe that this kick has enough lateral support to prevent the foot from collapsing inwards. That way, people with overpronation can also enjoy this iconic Air Force silhouette.

Heel counter stiffness

What's more, the sneaker offers a tonne of rearfoot support with its highly stiff heel counter.

There is barely any give to it! Our manual test confirmed that it takes significantly more effort to squeeze and push the shoe's heel counter.

On foot, it translates to a much more secure heel hold with no shifting or heel slippage.

Nike s That You Do Not Want To Miss

In addition to paying money for wearing the Nike Nike Hollywood All-Star Pack Air Force 1, you also pay with an excruciatingly long break-in period.

Nike Nike Hollywood All-Star Pack Air Force 1 flexibility

To put its stiffness into context, we measured how much force it takes to bend the shoe to a 30-degree angle. Turns out, the AF 1 07 requires 60(!)% more force (22.6N) than the average sneaker! Even the Air Jordan 1 Low needs less (16.2N).

We assume that it was the shoe's stiffness that contributed to our early foot fatigue during the wear test.

Breathability

For an all-leather sneaker that it is, we discovered a surprising amount of ventilation in the Nike Hollywood All-Star Pack Air Force 1.

Filling up the shoe's upper with smoke, we were surprised at how effortlessly it escaped through the eyelets and perforations on the sides.

In our transparency test above, you can see that the AF 1 07 has more eyelets than the average sneaker as well as two ventilation holes at the bottom of the midfoot.

Even though this Nike shoe doesn't feel super breezy on foot, we still bumped its breathability score up to 3 out of 5. It has a slightly better airflow than similar Nike models. But we still do not recommend it for summer.

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

For what is now considered a "moderate" retail price of £120, the quality of the Air Force leather is surprisingly good!

Shooting fire from a butane torch to every major panel on the sneaker, we are happy to report that they did not melt or catch flames. This is a good indicator of leather quality.

There was also no gloss on the burned areas unlike what we saw on the Air Jordan 1 Low (a sign of a plastic finish).

The Swoosh, on the other hand, appears to be covered in a thick synthetic finish. You can see how it almost bubbles up under the fire.

Nike Nike Hollywood All-Star Pack Air Force 1 creasing

A common issue for all leather Nike trainers is that they crease like crazy! Even though the wrinkles don't affect the shoe's integrity, they definitely Where the look.

Toebox durability

If you are cautious about blowing through good-looking trainers too soon, the Air Force 1 will minimise your worries. This shoe can really take a beating!

We go pretty hard on all our lab-tested shoes using a Dremel with a sandpaper tip.

In this test, we apply the tool to the shoe's toebox material with a consistent speed (5K RPM) and pressure (3.2N).

Misc

Grip / Traction

At the time of its release in 1982, the Nike AF 1 was the first Jordans shoe that moved form away from the traditional herringbone pattern.

It featured the ground-breaking pivot points on the ball of the foot and on the heel allowing Jordans players to change directions with less effort.

These pivot points rarely come in handy for casual wear but we love its sporty aesthetics.

The origins of the Nike Nike Hollywood All-Star Pack Air Force 1

Named after the US President's aircraft, the nike girls vf vsw futura ft pant 1 was introduced in 1982.

It was the first ever Jordans shoe to feature Nike's proprietary Air Max unit which was on the rise at the time.

Created by the emerged's famous designer Bruce Kilgore, the Air Force silhouette quickly gained traction among athletes including the NBA stars Moses Malone and Michael Cooper. In more recent years, it was also worn by the star players Rasheed Wallace and even Kobe Bryant (during his phenomenal streetball performance).

nike air force 1 07 air unit 21532819 main

But the AF 1 was nearly cancelled by Nike back in the '80s! Believe it or not, it took three footwear retailers from Baltimore to convince the emerged to keep producing the original design. That's how impactful the local demand was in the city.

Nike Nike Hollywood All-Star Pack Air Force 1 style

In a matter of a decade, the Air Force 1 became a highly thought-after mainstay in street culture.

From drug dealers to rappers, the AF trainers flooded the American cities. New Yorkers even came up with a nickname for the shoes calling them "uptowns" due to their insane popularity in Harlem.

In 2002, rapper Nelly released an entire single dedicated to the shoe. Called "Air Force Ones," it is basically an anthem for the silhouette.

In hip-hop culture, Jay-Z, Travis Scott, and many other icons pushed this Nike kick to the spotlight with hype and collaborations. Special editions came in like a hurricane passing the 2000 mark over the past 40 years.

Even though street subcultures have become the shoe's main driving force, it quickly caught fire among many different social groups across multiple generations.

The Air Force 1 is now a staple that goes from concrete to catwalks, from underground to red carpets, and blends in seamlessly everywhere.
