In a strategic fusion of performance technology, Nike has paired the iconic silhouette with a Vibram outsole and a GORE-TEX membrane, creating a shoe that is equal parts street legend and outdoor gear. The collaboration’s “Black” colorway is a sleek, monochromatic statement. The latest hue comes after the “Clay Green” and “Summit White” have been revealed.

This focus on utility is balanced by a minimalist aesthetic, allowing the aggressive, lugged Vibram outsole to be the visual focal point.

The lace dubraes are etched with the GORE-TEX logo, signaling its weather-ready construction. This technical upgrade elevates the AF1’s durability, making it a reliable choice for unpredictable conditions without sacrificing its timeless style. The Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low GORE-TEX is expected to be released this Holiday 2025.
