Nike Air Force 1 GORE-TEX Vibram "Black" HV5953-300

Winter hits different in the UK. Rain. Sleet. Slush. Most sneakers can’t hack it—but the Nike Air Force 1 GORE-TEX Vibram “Black” steps straight into that mess and handles it with ease. This isn’t your average AF1. It’s been upgraded with weatherproofing that actually works and a sole built for real-world grip.

Let’s start at the top. The leather upper is backed with a GORE-TEX membrane. That means water stays out while your feet stay dry. Simple as that. No gimmicks, no soggy socks.

Underfoot, the usual outsole is swapped for a Vibram sole. You’ll feel the difference straight away. It grips on wet pavement, icy steps, and unpredictable terrain. Whether you’re crossing city streets or countryside footpaths, it holds firm.

Visually, the all-black finish keeps it clean and easy to style. Low profile, no loud branding. Just a subtle nod to utility with the GORE-TEX tag and that unmistakable Vibram outsole.

Even better? It keeps the comfort of the classic AF1. Still padded. Still stable. Just tougher.

If you’ve ever tried to stretch your summer kicks through winter, you already know—it’s not worth it. This pair actually does the job. Daily wear? Sorted. Bad weather? Covered.
