Imagine shorty pulls up to the date with black Air Force 1 sneaker wedges, though? Could she still like.get it? I wish the same disdain was applied to sneaker wedges, but that might be another essay for another day. A quick Twitter search will unveil a treasure trove of black AF1 content, officially making it the funniest running joke related to sneakers. Some suggested that Drake check his wallet because she would def charge shit to the game in his name. Those blessed with hood knowledge brilliantly pointed out that things wouldn’t work out because Terry was wearing black AF1 lows while on a date with the biggest rapper in the world. I think the convo online about black Forces went viral when Drake was pictured with model Malaika Terry. There's also a "Black Air Force 1 Activity" skit that's going around YouTube. My uncle and his ilk are basically Patrick Beverley: a pair of black Air Force Lows in human form.ĭuring his appearance on Full Size Run, Meyhem Lauren said, "I don't think I've ever done a criminal activity not wearing Black Air Force 1s," proving that the sneaker has serious street credibility. These types are hard to trust-they’re the ones that you would want on your team because you would rather not play against them. For example, one of my uncles used to rock absolutely cooked all black AF1 Lows with a duster jacket and walked around with a metal pick he made in shop when he was in high school (in the ‘80s!) stashed in the inside pocket. These folks have no regard for your safety or their own. You have to immediately question their motives. A person that purposely purchases them is a person that cannot be trusted. So it’s pretty funny to see this bulletproof neighborhood theory be applied across social media when it comes to photos of people wearing all black Air Force 1s, specifically the lows. This is why normal human beings don’t purchase them. Not only are they the uniform of dusty, dirtballs, they will literally get dusty. The leather starts to feel and look like plastic, too. They look like someone walked around with a closed fist inside them, plus they curl up when you take them off after a long day of shooting up, smoking rock, robbing people, and/or washing dishes. The toebox on black AF1s crumble up like paper when they’ve been worn too many times. This theory wasn’t coined by any specific person, it was just understood.ĭopeheads and crackheads in the neighborhood I grew up in almost wore them exclusively, and folks that wore them to work fucked with them because they looked better than those slip-free generic joints they would’ve been forced to buy. I just remember nobody wore them on purpose unless they either worked in a kitchen, did robberies for a living, or were dopeheads. I don’t remember when it was decided that the all black Air Force 1 was the signature shoe of the degenerate.
