Tom Brady wore all-white Nike shoes to Michael Rubin's star-studded party.
In this story:

Tom Brady's first summer away from football appears to be treating him well. The perpetually youthful NFL legend was one of many attendees at Michael Rubin's "2023 White Party" held on July 4th.

We will spare you the details, but every A-list celebrity and athlete you can imagine descended upon the beachfront property cloaked in white clothing from head to toe. Brady flicked up for pictures with All-Star athletes and legendary rappers who looked like fans.

While most party-goers wore designer brands that most of us had never heard of, Brady kept it real by wearing some affordable Nike sneakers. Of course, Brady was a Nike athlete for the first half of his career before signing with Under Armour in 2010.

Now that Brady is retired, he has returned to representing the Swoosh in a nonofficial capacity. Brady wore a cooked (heavily worn) pair of Nike Air Force 1 Low sneakers. Below is what you need to know about the shoes and how Brady styled them.

The Nike Air Force 1 made its name on the basketball courts in the 1980s. While the old-school hoop shoe is no longer suited for the hardwood, it lives on in streetwear. Each passing generation embraces the shoes, and that includes our Gen-Z friends.

A large segment of the youngest generation of sneakerheads loves to rock all-white Nike Air Force 1s to the point where they are almost unrecognizable (cooked). We salute anyone for wearing affordable, easy-to-find kicks. 

Online shoppers can choose between several different styles and colorways of the Nike Air Force 1 on the Nike website. We recommend these shoes as a safe starting point for people who want cool sneakers but don't know where to begin.

In 1997, the fictional Seinfeld character George Costanza embarked on "the summer of George." Now that Brady is retired and single, he appears to be in the midst of his own summer renaissance. Navigating the social scene as a 45-year-old presents challenges, but Brady is off to the right start with his choice of footwear.
