Weatherproof Classic Sneaker Designs

Nike's Set of Air Force 1 GTX Shoes Prepare for the Season

— November 2, 2019 — Lifestyle
Nike readies for the terrain that comes in hand with the dropping temperature and colder seasons this year with the new series of Air Force 1 GTX sneakers. The broad range of footwear features the signature model in its low and high-top silhouettes. The notable difference is in the construction, with each pair of sneakers complete in FORE-TEX materials to combat the rain and snow.

The winterized sneakers are protected from the wet weather and the high-top version also features a bungee system for added security. The low-top silhouette arrives in the tonal options of black, team gold/khaki, medium olive green, and a bright dynamic yellow. The high-top features the options of black, phantom, and Sequoia, -- phantom is a white and icy blue and sequoia is a militaristic green.
