Nike has revealed the Air Force 1 Low GORE-TEX in a seasonal Thunder Blue colorway

Rugged Vibram outsoles and Speed Yellow branding accents finish the weatherized low-top design

Name: Nike Air Force 1 Low GORE-TEX “Thunder Blue”
Colorway: Thunder Blue/Off-Noir/Speed Yellow/Black
SKU: HV5953-400
MSRP: $150 USD
Release Date: Fall 2026
Where to Buy: Nike

Nike equips its most iconic court silhouette for wet conditions with the Nike Air Force 1 Low GORE-TEX “Thunder Blue”. The model introduces technical weatherproofing and rugged outdoor tooling to the brand’s Fall/Winter 2026 catalog.

Dressed in a rich “Thunder Blue” hue, the updated design transforms the classic leather upper into a fully enclosed, water-resistant barrier. To prevent moisture from entering, the traditional perforations across the toe box have been replaced with debossed dimples. The tongue is cut from heavy-duty ballistic mesh, threaded with textured stitched rope laces that enhance the silhouette’s boot-like appearance.

Performance upgrades continue underneath with the addition of a traction-focused Vibram rubber outsole, accented by a hit of “Racer Blue” along the center tread. Contrasting touches of “Speed Yellow” highlight the co-branded GORE-TEX embroidery and Vibram badging to complete the technical presentation.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low GORE-TEX “Thunder Blue” will release soon.
