The Nike Air Force 1 and GORE-TEX: two staples of street fashion independently that, when united, make for one killer winter option. Add in Vibram soles for good measure and it’s almost unfair.

Joining a slew of other new and upcoming Air Force 1 GORE-TEX colorways in Nike’s Fall/Winter 2026 catalog is a no-frills “Thunder Blue” makeup, shown here via official images. The titular shade alone does a fine job describing the colorway, save for Racer Blue on the center portion of the outsole and Speed Yellow on the GORE-TEX and Vibram branding. A number of key transformations render the model suitable for harsh conditions, namely a fully enclosed GORE-TEX leather upper with dimples instead of perforations on the toe box. The tongue is cut from ballistic mesh, accompanied by rope laces with some stitched texture to keep the boot vibe going.

Look for the Nike Air Force 1 Low GORE-TEX “Thunder Blue” at Nike.com and select retailers soon for $150 in men’s sizing. Official images are embedded below.
