Summer is starting to feel like a distant memory as the grays of fall have fully emerged with October nearing its close. As a result, rain is becoming increasingly prevalent and brands are looking to help out by offering more weather-prepared sneakers. For Nike, it continues to lean on its GORE-TEX-backed version of the Air Max 90.

The latest look to cover the Nike Air Max 90 GORE-TEX sees black and gray go back and forth across the retro runner. Its mixed material build is rain-ready with GORE-TEX technology ensuring that the wearer can withstand any normal amount of rainfall. Detailing across the sneaker has been adjusted with GORE-TEX callouts located at the tongue and the midfoot windows situated at each side of the shoe.

At the time of writing, Nike has not disclosed any release details regarding this black and gray version of the Air Max 90 GORE-TEX. Stay tuned for updates as we expect it to arrive at some point in the coming months via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a price of $160 USD.
