This year we’ve seen a continuous leak influx of the upcoming and finally the drop details have come through!
We first caught wind of the Air Jordan 1 Element GORE-TEX way , with releasing in September. Three colourways have been rumoured to hit shelves and it looks like the ‘Light Bone’ iteration has been locked in for December. The darker-hued will drop November 23.
The classic AJ1 shape that we know and love has remained relatively unchanged however the materials have been given a complete overhaul. The whole upper has been lined with a GORE-TEX membrane, covered with suede and rip-stop fabrics. Tasteful colour-blocking has been utilised on the upper, with ‘Light Bone’ and ‘Collegiate Grey’ dominating alongside subtle black and ‘Sail’ hits. Interestingly, the outsole goes for a two-tone look utilising a semi-translucent grey throughout.
The Air Jordan 1 Element GORE-TEX is ‘Guaranteed to Keep You Dry’ and will arrive at retailers and SNKRS on December 1. Stack your chips, they’ll retail for $200.
