Top Ten Shoes 2012 (8)

In at number 8 we have the Nike Zoom Force 1 in Blue / Black

These are a thing of beauty. A snowboard boot based on the Air Force One silhoutte. A blue waterproof upper with black swoosh and heel tab. The swoosh is stitched on with white cotton, while the Nike Air logo on the heel tab is finished in white plastic. The inner boot was heat moulded to the foot when purchased for ultimate comfort.

The midsole does contain embedded Zoom air cushioning to help stable the snowboard ride, the sole of the boot also resemble's that of the duck boot, with extra heightened traction points throughout.

Although clearly built as a performance shoe, these encorporate everything that is lovable about the Air Force One and therefore are wearable on the slopes and quiet Bishop's Stortford streets. I have worn these 0 times to snowboard in so far, and once into town to do shopping. 

In April next year I will wear these 10 hours a day for 5 days straight while in Austria, I have to say that week can't come soon enough.
