Hi, I was hoping someone could advise. I was going to buy some Nike Air Force1 Trainers. I've not had Nike trainers before but pretty set on 2 that I have seen that appear very similar, but only a small difference in price. I was hoping someone could tell me what the main differences are, as such? From what I can tell, one says it has a lightweight midsole with air unit and the other says foam midsole with air unit. Because they look so similar, I was wanting to know, is one a better trainer than the other to buy?
The 2 are from the following links:

Thanks

James

    Better for what? 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    "Room and comfort" for what activity?
    Different requirements for resistance training or running or tennis etc.
    If you simply mean as fashion leisure shoes, just try them both and pick what you prefer.
    Though, to be fair, try them both and pick what you prefer might be the best solution if the trainers are for a specific activity.  It is no good buying the "best / fastest" running shoes if they simply don't fit and are uncomfortable - a "slower" design that fits well and is comfortable will be better for the individual.

    Agree with the comments asking what you are going to use these trainers for.

    One is exclusive to JD Sports so if you decide on that one, you have no option but to buy from JD.
    Have you looked at other websites - including Nike's own - to compare prices?
