Why the Air Force 1 never goes away
The Air Force 1 has been around since 1982 and has grown into one of the most widely worn sneakers ever. Its secret lies in its simplicity: a clean shape, a chunky midsole with Air cushioning in the heel, and that signature disc on the side. It’s a shoe you can wear casually or dress up, and its sturdy construction means it lasts. This LV8 line adds extra materials and detail without disrupting the original foundation.
The story behind the Denim Anthracite
While the standard AF1 often comes in crisp white or black, this version opts for a denim texture in shades of gray. Anthracite provides the deeper shadow, medium ash the lighter layer, and metallic silver adds a subtle sheen to the details. The result is a shoe that makes less of a statement than the classic white version, but looks more interesting up close precisely because of its muted tones. The denim adds texture where smooth leather would otherwise stay sleek — a small difference that makes a big impact.
Who is this shoe for?
This AF1 is for anyone who loves the shape but has seen the standard white version one too many times. Thanks to its gray denim look, it’s incredibly easy to style: with jeans, black trousers or almost any jacket in your closet. Our men’s styling editor Niek would immediately build an entire capsule wardrobe around it. I’d keep things simpler: this is a shoe you can put on without thinking and it always works. Personally, I’d use it as my go-to gray sneaker.
How much does this Air Force 1 cost in the Netherlands?
The AF1 comes in countless versions, and prices vary. Thanks to the extra materials, this LV8 version sits slightly above the bare-bones base model, but it remains accessible. It pays to compare prices, as they fluctuate between retailers and sizes. You’ll find the current starting price here: [sz_price_from stylecode=”IR0951-003″].

My verdict
Would I wear these myself? Absolutely. The gray denim look gives a familiar silhouette a little more personality, while remaining every bit as versatile as an AF1 should be. It’s not a shoe that demands attention, but it’s one you’ll reach for more often than you expect. For an understated everyday sneaker, this is a smart choice — just compare the prices on the right.
