Nike Air Jordan 1 Element Low A/T
Built to handle the shift from crisp autumn trails to winter's unpredictable storms, the Air Jordan 1 Element Low A/T fuses classic Jordan DNA with all-weather function. A GORE-TEX-lined upper keeps rain and slush at bay, while a rugged trail outsole and cushioned foam midsole deliver stability and comfort across slick streets or muddy paths. Its perforated toe box nods to the original, but every other detail is engineered for exploration. Equal parts legacy and utility—this is the Air Jordan built for fall's chill and winter's edge.
