Nike Makes Air Force 1s Waterproof So You Can Step Out Against The Elements

Nike enthusiasts, brace yourselves for the latest addition to your sneaker collection. The sportswear giant has just dropped a new iteration of the iconic Air Force 1 silhouette, introducing the Nike Air Force 1 ’07 Pro-Techs, designed to keep your feet dry when the weather takes a turn.

The Air Force 1 silhouette has a rich history, beginning its journey on the basketball court in the early ’80s before carving out its niche in the world of fashion and music, particularly in the hip-hop scene. Now, it’s becoming even more of a staple for your fall wardrobe as Nike fortifies it against nature.

Staying true to the timeless Air Force 1 aesthetic, these kicks feature a leather upper that’s been treated to be waterproof. The iconic swoosh discreetly embossed, and other subtle accents offer a more understated appearance, preserving the shoe’s classic charm.

In terms of construction, Nike hasn’t strayed far from the blueprint of the original Air Force 1s. You’ll find the familiar padded collar, trusty rubber soles, and the ever-comfortable Nike Air cushioning, making for a shoe that’s as cozy as it is stylish.

For those looking to make a statement, the Nike Air Force 1 ’07 Pro-Techs come in three monochromatic color options: Silver, University Gold, and Black.
