Last year, Nike celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Air Force 1 by treating it to a variety of looks, collaborations and new variants. For 2023, the Swoosh has continued this with everything from a new “Halloween” colorway set to arrive later this year to a waterproof Air Force 1 Low WP version of the shoe. Initially appearing with a “Triple Black” presentation, the Air Force 1 Low WP has now surfaced with another monochromatic finish in gray.

Kicking things off, the rain-ready upper again removes the typical perforation and much of the shoe’s stitching in favor of cleaner seams that minimize the opportunity for water to seep through. As a result, the Swooshes are created via an outline rather than being attached like normal. From collar to outsole, a soft gray hue remains consistent with a hit of black appearing at the tongue tag only. The heel features debossed branding while the stitched midsole is supported by a translucent outsole to complete the look.

At the time of writing, Nike has yet to disclose any details surrounding the debut of the Air Force 1 Low WP. Look for it to land on shelves in this all-gray colorway in the coming months via Nike and select retailers.
