- Waterproof
- Tear-resistant underlay
- Gusseted tongue
- Unquestionably stylish
- Off-White looking

You should pass up this shoe if you are a budget-conscious buyer looking for a winter-equipped sneaker with a price way, way below $200. Jump to other winterized selections from Nike's ACG lineup, which you can buy at a lesser cost. Try the hiking-inspired Nike Manoa if you want a more grippy sole.
Air Jordan 1 Gore-Tex gets technical for the winter season
You can now flaunt your AJ1s year-round. For the first time, the Air Jordan 1 is prepped with technological components that can handle harsh weather, be it rain or snow. Even as it utilizes a highly weather-resistant Gore-Tex fabric, it appears crisp and stylish like the classic OG and not much as a workboot or winterized sneakerboot.

The Gore-Tex outer fabric, gusseted tongue, and plush lining prevent rainwater, snow, and even dirt from seeping in. These materials keep the feet locked in, dry, and warm. Even the Swoosh logo isn't sewn in to prevent creating holes as entry points for water. Instead of getting absorbed by the shoe, water trickles down the sides.
It can resist immediate wear and tear
Its ripstop underlay, made of woven nylon fabric, is reinforced making it resistant to rip and tear. It's laid across the vamp, midfoot, and tongue, putting a lot of life into these sections.
Sealed-in tongue
The front section of the tongue is directly attached to the upper through gussets. It prevents the tongue from sliding side to side. The unattached top part of the tongue offers flexibility and encourages natural foot movement.
Supercool design from top to bottom
Stylish without appearing like winterized GTX shoes and sneakers from the Nike ACG footgear line. On the flip side, its two-toned rubber sole is attention-grabbing too.
