Nike's most powerful sneaker keeps getting stronger. The Air Force 1 has long since achieved icon status in the Swoosh's hall of fame but now the GOAT-ed sneaker is getting a tad bit tougher thanks to the enduring power of GORE-TEX

The shoe’s classic all-white upper now features a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane and rounded laces, designed in a style similar to hiking or trekking boots.

But the toughness doesn't stop there. This crazy-sturdy AF1 sneaker features a Vibram outsole built to traverse all types of trails. It's like getting the best parts of a hiking sneaker with the aesthetic legacy of an all-white Air Force 1 sneaker. 

Available on the Nike website for $165, the all-white GORE-TEX AF1 shoe also has a blacked-out twin.

Both sneakers are kitted with the same durable DNA but there is just something so satisfying about an all-white sneaker, a famously fragile colorway, being made specifically for harsher conditions.

Think of it as an all-white Air Force 1 with snow tires. Whether or not wearers will explore the full capabilities of this sneaker's hard-wearing prowess remains to be seen.

Beyond proving that the Air Force 1 is Nike's most powerful shoe by just about every metric, it also affirms an even more pressing claim: You truly can get fly in any weather.
