Autumn-Ready Durable Sneakers

Nike Infuses Two New Air Force 1s with GORE-TEX Technology

— October 17, 2020 — Fashion
Nike informs one of its most iconic silhouettes with sturdy GORE-TEX technology in time for the colder seasons of the year. The Air Force 1 arrives in two new colorways constructed with GORE-TEX materials in order to withstand the terrains of winter. The new colorways include the options of either Baroque Brown and Medium Olive with Deepest Green. These hues are seasonally appropriate as it adds a warm option to one's roster of autumn shoe selections.

The construction also features rich leather on the mudguards, the heel, Swoosh branding, and eyestays. Woven textiles make up the midfoot, the toe box, and the tongue area. The GORE-TEX membrane entirely covers the entire sneaker to ensure that it is weather resistant.
