The grip Nike Air Force 1s have on uni students is unmatched. Try and walk through campus without spotting a pair – you can’t. Their popularity is absolutely justified. They're timeless and versatile, perfect being for dressed up or down. However, if you are tired of walking into your uni house and not being able to identify which trainers are yours, there are alternatives which are just as fashionable, and will make you stand out from the crowd. 

Are you tired of walking into your uni house and not being able to identify which trainers are yours?

VEJA V10s 

Veja V10s really are the shoe for every occasion. All white options are available to replicate the Air Force look, but a splash of colour helps make this shoe stand out. Although the most expensive on this list, these are undeniably the shoes that go with anything, but perhaps a little basic for some.

New Balance 530 

The New Balance 530s really tap into the dad shoe trend which has been circulating, and they are becoming increasingly popular. With a more unique look than Air Force and a retro feel, this is a shoe I can get behind and a variety of colour options means there’s something for everyone. If this is straying too far from your beloved Air Force, try the 550s – a tad more expensive, but stays closer to the Air Force look. 

New Balance CT302 

New Balance is really set on making an it girl shoe, and with this being their second mention on the list, I think they might be onto something. The CT302s have a traditional court silhouette, with a chunky platform for a more modern feel. Suede and rubber elements add dimension creating a shoe that makes a statement. The New Balance 373 is a similar option, for a slightly cheaper price tag. 

Adidas Stan Smiths

The Stan Smiths are certainly an iconic Adidas staple, with a minimalist design. They are a firm celebrity favorite, being worn by the likes of Barack Obama and Meghan Markle. I will never forgive Adidas for the grip Superstars had over girls in 2016 – but if you do not have personal beef with Adidas, these may be the shoe for you. 

Reebok Club c 85 and Puma Cali Dream 

These trainers have more of a vintage feel than the rest of the list, and the pop of color gives a retro vibe. Similar to Club c 85s are the Puma Cali Dream - with a little more colour, these are bound to make you stand out.

Converse 

Although definitely not an Air Force dupe, I couldn’t leave Converse off this list. You really can’t go wrong with any pair of Converse – a classic option that should not be forgotten when looking for a new pair of trainers.
