Sneakerheads have long called on the Air Force 1 to play the role of winter boots, whether it be the Timberland-esque “Flax” colorway or other styles that features a similar combo of seasonal colors and materials. Therefore, cold weather options have only become more abundant as the years have gone by. Nike debuted the Air Force 1 Pro Tech last winter, bringing a fully waterproof upper to Bruce Kilgore’s classic. Now with autumn and winter on the horizon once more, Nike’s adding a handful of new AF1 Pro Tech colorways to its Fall 2024 roster.

The first batch of Pro Techs consisted of monotone looks, and that stays true this time around. We covered news about a green “Sequoia” pair the other day, and now on the lighter side, Nike brings “Phantom” to this latest option. Minimizing areas where water can get in, the base of the shoe is comprised of only two pieces of leather. The toe box features debossed dots in place of perforations, and most of the stitching (including the Swoosh) is replaced by engraved lines so as to maintain the overarching AF1 shape. Additional touches include a leather tongue tag, debossed “Nike Air” heel branding, and semi-translucent gum soles underfoot.

As mentioned, these are expected to land during the Fall 2024 shopping season for $155, a big markup from the standard AF1 Low. See official images below if you’re considering copping a pair.
