The all-black Air Force 1 '07 low-top, listed in a wide size run with half sizes. Buyer reports agree on two points: it runs roomy, and the leather creases hard at the toe box. Narrow feet typically go half a size down; wide feet often stay true to size. Weigh how much creasing bothers you.

Pros
Cons
Fit notes
The AF1 '07 runs large with a roomy toe box. Buyer reports and Nike's own guide point narrower feet to a half size down from your usual Nike size; wide-footed buyers often find their usual size most comfortable. If you sit between sizes or have narrow feet, size down.
Buy if
You want a roomy, all-black low-top and you accept toe-box creasing as normal for the model — owners report all-black pairs can take years of daily wear. Wide-footed buyers often find their usual size comfortable.
Skip if
You expect soft, pliable leather or a shoe that keeps looking new. Buyer reports describe stiff, plasticky leather on the standard '07 and creases that turn prominent quickly, with owners saying the shoes look best new.
