Nike Air Force 1s used to be THE shoe to have. I have had mine for nearly six years. Now, they are more of an off-white color, and the heels have holes in them. This article is as much for me as it is for you.
Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Platform – $75
These are a spin on the classic white Converse, these platform sneakers are perfect to wear with cropped jeans or flare leggings. Being high-top and platform, they are a bit different than the typical sneaker but perfect to change up your shoe game a bit.
New Balance 550s — $109.99
This is the perfect cross between a dad shoe and a sleek everyday sneaker. New Balance has tons of other chunkier sneakers available as well.
Reebok Club C 85 Vintage Shoes — $90
These retro-looking shoes are perfect for people who like a more vintage style. The green accents catch your eye and set this shoe apart from others. Wear these with some baggy jeans and a hoodie (maybe a green one to match the accents) and you have a great casual look.
Adidas Gazelle — $100
Also known as the “Satellite Stompers” by Harry Styles fans, these sneakers blew up online during the spring and summer of 2023. Harry Styles was constantly seen in his Gazelles, influencing many fans to buy a pair as well. There are many fun color options, but if you are looking for a plain white sneaker, they have that too.
Puma Cali Women’s Sneakers — $80
These are probably the most similar-looking pair to our beloved Air Force 1s, these Puma shoes are classic and sleek. At a slightly lower price point, you can save a few extra bucks. The website suggests ordering a half-size larger, so make sure to take that into consideration.
Nike Women’s Air Max 90 SE — $130
If you are a Nike stan, here’s a pair of sneakers for you. These shoes give you that all-white look with a twist. The laces feature charms that read Nike’s slogan, “Just do it.” These shoes also feature Nike’s Air technology, which uses pressured air to create cushioning for your feet.
Whichever brand you prefer, these sneakers are great alternatives for Nike Air Force 1s. Pick the one that is best for your style and add it to your Christmas list! Or your birthday list. Or just treat yourself. It’s time to replace those Air Forces.
Happy Shopping!
