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.

Nike Air Force 1 GTX Vibram
When designer Bruce Kilgore first sketched the AF1 in 1982, he borrowed from Nike's Approach hiking boot—lowering the heel for better movement and creating a basketball icon that's quietly rooted in trail performance. Four decades later, that connection comes full circle. The AF1 GTX Vibram swaps courtside polish for alpine grit, pairing a waterproof GORE-TEX leather upper with a rugged Vibram outsole engineered to grip slick streets like a rock face. It's the AF1 reimagined for rain, sleet, and snow—because not every journey happens indoors.
