This Butterscotch-Drizzled GORE-TEX AF1 Is Anything but “Mid”
The Nike Air Force 1 has been around long enough to have a few side hustles. Once a basketball shoe, then a streetwear staple, it’s now branching out into weather-resistant territory. And while the classic white-on-white pair will always have its place, there’s something to be said for a Force that doesn’t panic at the first sign of rain.
Enter the Air Force 1 Mid ’07 GORE-TEX Vibram in Wheat. With its caramel-colored leather, black details, and flashes of orange, it looks like your favorite Forces have been spending a little too much time in the great outdoors. Honestly, it suits them.
The rugged makeover isn’t just for show, either. GORE-TEX helps keep the rain out, while a Vibram outsole brings extra grip for those slippery sidewalks that seem determined to ruin your day. Think of it as a little bad-weather insurance, with considerably better styling than your average hiking boot.
The mid-top cut only adds to the appeal, giving the familiar AF1 shape a more substantial, boot-like feel without losing its streetwear credentials.
White Forces are a classic for a reason, but when the weather starts acting up and there's no umbrella to hand, these might just be the pair worth reaching for.
The Air Force 1 Mid '07 GORE-TEX Vibram is available for $180 on Nike's website now.
