Just got my lifts and my AF1s are already beat, so I started experimenting.
Peel out the original insole and keep it aside. Drop your lifts into the shoe, then place the original insole back on top - if you want it permanent, just hot glue it down so it doesn’t shift. This is OP because if you ever have to take your shoes off, the insole still looks completely stock with the Air Force 1 logo.
Works best with ~0.5" lifts; 1" can look a bit uncanny, but once people see the legit insole they won’t suspect anything. If you’re running high tops like Nike Blazers or Jordan 1s, you can probably push 1.5"+ without it looking off.
