At first glance, Nike's latest Air Force 1 Lows look to be another clean addition to the rotation. But there's more to these pairs.

(whispers) They're actually quite tough.

How so? Nike has woven Cordura into the upper of the Air Force 1. The lightweight material adds extra strength to the shoe, thus preventing rips and tears. This also helps extend the life of the already classic sneaker in general.

The Nike Air Force 1 also features creamy leather panels, alongside signature details such as the chunky Air-infused soles and generous Nike Air branding. The results are Forces that are as crisp as they are durable.

What's more, Nike offers this toughened classic in some pretty sharp colorways, including "Summit White" and Dark Obsidian." Both are now available on Nike Singapore's website for S$199 (roughly $154).

It's been the year of the hardy Air Force 1, to say the least. Nike has released several rugged iterations of the iconic model, including pairs featuring GORE-TEX.

Nike has even dropped Forces featuring both the waterproof tech and Vibram, for the folks looking for the ultimate winterized tank, of course.
