[Nike's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-sndr) Air Force 1 Boot [GORE-TEX](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daystorm-horizon) is a study option of the signature silhouette, weatherized for the colder seasons of the year. This time around, the brand launches a set of autumn-themed colorways to suit the seasonal time. The colors include either dark olive green or a rich wheat hue.

The top of the silhouette features a rubber ankle strap that offers another adjustable element. The [GORE-TEX upper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goretex-protection-pack) is reinforced with a smooth full-grain leather material. It is further made up with ripstop and cotton materials to give it more textures. Branding details can be found on the tongue at the forefoot and the large Swoosh that weaved throughout the sidewalls. Finishing up the sneaker is a "GORE-TEX" label embroidered on the side.
