Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between Air Force 1 and Flyknit 2?
▾
The Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit 2 replaces the traditional leather upper with lightweight, breathable Flyknit fabric. This reduces weight and improves airflow while maintaining the classic AF1 silhouette and Nike Air cushioning for comfort.
Does the Flyknit 2 run true to size?
▾
Yes, the Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit 2 Black Pure Platinum runs true to size for most wearers. However, those with wider feet may want to try a half size up due to the snug fit of the knit upper.
How does the Flyknit upper hold up over time?
▾
The Flyknit upper is durable for everyday use but may show wear in high-friction areas like the toe box. It’s less resistant to scuffs than leather, so care is recommended for long-term appearance.
Is the Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit 2 waterproof?
▾
No, the Flyknit 2 is not waterproof. The breathable knit material absorbs moisture, so it’s best worn in dry conditions or treated with a fabric protectant for light resistance.
Can I wear the Flyknit 2 for sports or workouts?
▾
The Flyknit 2 is designed for lifestyle wear, not athletic performance. While comfortable for walking or light movement, it lacks the support and traction needed for intense workouts or basketball.
