How to Make a 30-Year-Old Air Max Better? Waterproof It

Written by Morgan Smith in Sneakers

Winter's coming, and Nike's Air Max 95 sneaker will be ready this year.

Enter the new GORE-TEX rendition.

Nike has waterproofed many of its sneakers, including the Dunk Low, Air Force 1, and even the Air Max 90. Now, finally, the 30-year-old Air Max 95 will receive the famous winter-ready treatment.

The signature GORE-TEX stamp lands on the toe, reminding wearers that these Air Maxes are both waterproof and extremely breathable. And it's all wrapped in a clean "Light Bone" colorway that combines off-white with black and outdoorsy orange accents.

Nike's Air Max 95 keeps many of its signature touches, like the Big Bubble soles and anatomy-inspired design. But the GORE-TEX upgrade makes it look even tougher.
