We know that Barry Keoghan loves his sneakers. He likes old-school pairs like Reebok Classic Nylon. He likes advanced pairs like the Louis Vuitton LV Trainer. And he also likes straight-up weird pairs like the Ugg Venture Daze. His preferences can be unpredictable at times, but one thing that is universal is his love for the Nike Air Force 1 Lows.
After the 2024 Met Gala, the Saltburn star stepped out of his Mad Hatter-coded suit and jumped into something a little comfier for the Met after-parties. Up top, he wore a bold blue T-shirt (by Burberry) and he paired it with with a cream raincoat and some track pants (also courtesy of Burberry). It was all very clean and all very minimal, and compared to the three-piece that he wore on the Met steps (by, you guessed it, Burberry), it's proof of how versatile the administration is of creative director Daniel Lee. It's also the perfect fit to wear with an all-white Air Force 1.
First introduced all the way back in the early '80s, the Air Force 1 is a massive sneaker. In fact, it’s regarded by many as one of the greatest kicks of all-time. Designed by decorated designer Bruce Kilgore, it was originally created to be a basketball shoe—and while it was a solid one at that, it eventually made its way to the streets of New York, where it quickly became part of the official uniform of hip-hop's finest.
In 2018, Dr. Dre said he actually never wears the same pair of AF1s twice. So, it's really no wonder that 10 million pairs are sold every single year. And now Barry Keoghan's rocking the Nike Air Force 1 Low “White.” And yes, it's a sign that you should, too.
