Can anyone place these shoes? They appear to be Nikes, but I cannot really tell. [from here]

They are almost certainly Air Force Ones.

Here's an example of AF1s with contrasting panels.

Response by poster: Do you see the colorway from the picture on any AF1s?

Best answer: I think with that extremely fluoro toe box, and the fact that she's in Singapore, those are more likely to be Bapesta's. Here's an example, with a similar palette.

Isn't she in Shanghai, China? I would say these could even be fake Bapesta's due to how chunky they look. That photo isn't good enough to tell though.

Totally correct, I didn't realise there was a Raffles City in Shanghai. There is however still a Bape Store in Shanghai.

Bapes for sure. Way too chunky to be (non-counterfeit) Forces.

They could also be counterfeit Bapes.
