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.
