Air Force 1 Low GORE-TEX “Summer Shower” is Coming Soon

Select Model

Back in 2019, Nike introduced the first round of winterized GORE-TEX Air Force 1s to great success. 2020 saw a similar response, though the effects of COVID and an uncertain future put a handful of the silhouettes in the back of the market’s mind. Looking ahead to Summer 2021, it would probably be the last place you’d expect a winterized sneaker to release, but either it’s specifically designed for the odd summer shower, or been repurposed (and retitled) for the season as a result of the aforementioned COVID concerns.

Arriving in an all-white construction the pair once again reverts to a canvas-like GORE-TEX fabrication for its foundation, with leather overlays at the toe, Swoosh, eyestays, and quarter panels. In a subtle move, the latter two arrive with a lightly tumbled finish, while the toes and Checks keep things smooth. A co-branded textile tongue rests below a pully lacing system — both in white —before being finished off by a bright Hyper Royal insole set inside.
