Nike has a history of using Gore-Tex to beef up the Air Force 1 for inclement weather, but a new pair proves the Swoosh can handle the rain all on its own.
The Air Force 1 Low “Citrus Orange” comes in a sunny colorway and with waterproofed paneling to handle more dismal weather. Smooth white leather makes up the majority of the upper, as “Citrus Orange” takes over the Swoosh, additional branding hits, and insole. Down low, you’ll find a gum outsole — an always welcomed decision, no matter the weather.
Official images back up the AF1’s waterproofing bonafides by demonstrating how water beads on the shoe’s surface. If it weren’t for such images, nothing about the shoe’s appearance would betray its capabilities, which is a welcomed property for such a clean sneaker.
Release deets have yet to be confirmed for the Air Force 1 Low “Citrus Orange,” but the imminence of spring showers should hopefully a mean the drop date is sooner than later. As always, download the DROPS by SoleSavy app for any and all updates.
