For me, the great ones come along every decade or so. This particular pair came out of the box turning heads, then aged gracefully, adding character as the marks of life accumulated. They kept their form and function, highlighting my feet and flavor. Somehow, in a world of instant gratification and disposable trends, my Nike Air Force 1 GTX “Phantom” boots stayed fly through four Northern winters of near-daily wear.
