Andrew Rizzo With eyes towards fall, Nike has already begun outfitting the Air Force 1 for cold weather. The Beaverton brand has long made a habit out of releasing seasonal takes on the Bruce Kilgore classic, leveraging autumn fashion hallmarks and upgraded materials to produce an array of compelling options every year without fail.
This latest pair comes with ballistic Cordura fabric up top, comprising a durable wear made to endure harsh elements. Sure to draw eyes off the strength of the advanced fabric manufacturer’s imprint, the shoe balances between “Light Iron Ore/Smoke Grey” up top while the sole is painted in black for stark contrast. The overlays come crafted out of suede, while metallic eyelets and debossed “Nike Air” heel branding add a bit of workwear appeal.
The Beaverton brand has long called upon another industry leader in GORE-TEX to touch up the AF1, with many of those such pairs fetching high resale prices as sneakerheads have revisited the grey market in the years following their release. Cordura-equipped Air Force 1s like this will likely be met with similar demand.
Nike hasn’t set a firm release date at the time of this writing, but pairs are expected to hit shelves sometime during the Fall 2024 shopping season for $130. On a similar note, the same Cordura material recently appeared on an upcoming Nike Dunk Low.
