These are WATERPROOF!? 💦 Jordan 1 GORE-TEX Review & On-Foot

In this video I review the upcoming Jordan 1 Gore-Text in the light bone colourway. These Jordan 1's are definitely different as they are pretty mcuh completely waterproof! The question is, have Jordan sacrificed quality to do it...?
I also try on the Jordan 1 Gore Tex's with 2 different track pants and take the shoes outside.
You will be able to purchase the Jordan's at one of the locations below:

Just have to say for the practicality of the gore-tex aj1s: I love in Hawaii, and rain is really inconsistent here. When it rains, it rains hard. If the school day looks rainy, throwing these on wouldn’t be the worst idea 🤷‍♂️

[@FeeZ3]

Bro im literally searching and watching some reviews on these ones for hours now and you uploaded.. Sheesh! And personally this is what im looking for considering the rainy season rn here in London. These would be perfect without worrying my sneakers getting ruined from the water and dirt or my socks getting wet. Basically an everyday sneakers when going to work in rainy days and still having heat with them J’s.. Cus my 700 mnvn bluetint is already dirty af cus of the rain! Lol planning to get these and hoping I can cop for retail tho..

[@lacedxstrapped]

Here in the middle of the US, we encounter wildly different weather conditions pretty much year round. Lots of rain, lots of snow (usually), so a shoe that I can wear without worrying if my socks get wet, I'm all for it. I dont consider it a gimmick at all, as people's daily sneaker choices do depend on things like weather. Now, the AJ1 "prototype" was definitely a gimmick. Lol

[@brianhicks3859]

I snagged both pairs as of this morning and can’t wait! I live in the PNW so these are a must

[@makaveli1969]

No gimmicks here…think it was very smart of them to come out with a waterproof jordan 1 as we know the drastic changes in climate that we see in the states alone and to mention the rest of the world! Weather and climate is so diverse from one state to the next that the gortex waterproof Jordan 1 elements make so much sense to people like myself who live in a state like MN where the weather can change drastically from one day to the next…..

[@lacedxstrapped]

@@makaveli1969 not sure what material the grey part is, but first time I got a little water on them, it left a huge water stain. May keep feet dry, but it clearly dirtys up the material. The entire sneaker should've been Gore-Tex.

[@laketajo1]

Great review, I snowboard a lot and this shoe will be perfect for me to wear on trips, still wanna rock my Js

[@Last_Bulbasaur]

Bought these for my dad!! One thing I noticed during travel is people sure wear a lot of nice Air Jordan 1s specially in tour spots but with constantly visiting a lot of spots you visit wacky weather; one place raining here... one spot super sunny. So these are perfect for travel with swag

[@vkaltak]

these don't seem a great option for long walks since the Gore-Tex material seems pretty stiff (I've worn mine twice for an average of 4 hours and the little walking I did was really uncomfortable)

[@finparry6658]

Been waiting for these… they look great on foot!

As a School Teacher water proof 1s are awesome. I can wear them on rainy days without a worry in the world.

[@Pitbull8282]

I have the black and gray ones and use them during the bad winters in Wisconsin …very nice that they are water proof when it’s 6 feet of snow

[@danielluz5774]

I live in Calgary, Canada and it’s always snowing. So it’s very difficult to wear nice shoes as they always get wet and dirty. This shoe would actually be perfect for me or any sneaker heads who live here. Great review btw

[@radbird7424]

I bike everyday at least 6 miles. Weather can change quite drastically since im in Chicago in just a few hours so these really do help me

[@RazeDee]

Color blocking on both gore tex 1's is amazing thinking of copping both

[@luisrosasxd3999]

I need them so I can look stylish while shoveling my driveway snow 😎

[@jamesmacpheators7222]

Got the green and black version of these and absolutely fucking love them! My personal favorite colorway. Goes with everything. These are nice too!!

[@KingsdownRoots]

Very nice cop

[@michaelmastri651]

The pictures and videos don’t show the color right. Is the “particle grey” pair green? And how much so

[@jamesmacpheators7222]

@@michaelmastri651most pictures I saw before buying made it look like a true pine green and it pretty much is for the most part. Maybe a shade or two darker. The grey portion(heel panel) is your regular grey. Same as any grey sweats and the swoosh is a reflective grey material. Turns white when lights are on it. Shoe overall is straight fire and is probably neck and neck with the Bred Toe for me.

[@michaelmastri651]

@@jamesmacpheators7222 yeah I agree they’re super clean. I didn’t hit on them so I’ll probably try to grab the light bone colorway when they drop. If I don’t get them I’ll just grab the particle greys for resale since they’re not too expensive

Waterproof trainers are essential in the autumn winter in Scotland if out for the day. These are lovely shoe on

[@kimkrimson]

I missed out on these. Waterproof sneakers make a lot of sense for people using bikes or public transport in places with a lot of rain and who love to wear sneakers

[@KillaZamii]

Would be great for the slushy winter seasons here in Minnesota

[@strictlyaverage8995]

I think these would be very practical for someone in my position. I work on boats and I love the aj1! And the boats I work on are usually high end boats and it is a lot of on water work so these would be perfect! We will see if and when I pick some up!

[@kosinparuchabutr4007]

Wouldn't the saltwater absolutely destroy these shoes though?

I live in south Florida and it rains a lot down here and sometimes I don't wanna wear my Js bc of that so these are perfect for my situation....cool vid btw, ✌🏽

[@joakimthomasli2604]

I could not Get those on SNKRS as allways! I live in norway so i actually need these shoes! I use Jordan 1’s all year around it is raining half the year and We got alot of snow! So i think the Gore-tex is must for me!!! I neeed them 😂 cheers happy holidays

I really like this pair but the nasty crease mark on the grey toe box would drive me nuts lol

[@jugene163]

Awesome review man! Question about fit, you said the overall fit even with the gore tex tongue is like all other AJ 1s but how about the toe box? Does that material make the toe box more snug or shallow feeling cause it’s thicker? I’m weird about snug toe boxes haha. Thanks and great review. Subbed for sure.

[@jamesmacpheators7222]

Actually other way around. More space in the toebox. Very comfortable.

Could you give me advice in which pair to invest in right now to hold

[@vkaltak]

These are TTS, but I found the Gore-Tex upper uncomfortably pressing against my toes when walking (as opposed to regular-leather J1s, which are very comfy). I've worn them twice and feels like they're starting to loosen up a bit. On top of that, these are much warmer than leather J1s, which is part of the idea, being waterproof. What are your thoughts on this?

[@datratchet9245]

These look fucken hot, I glad I got them at retail and hope Gore-Tex stays away from another collaboration for the AJ1 UNLESS it is a Low model

[@SkyChopper]

I don’t think it’s a gimmick at all. Goretex is all over jackets and clothing in the PNW of the US, it’s only fitting Nike made a pair of AJ1s to deal with all the rain where their company HQ is.

[@willekiuru3516]

really like the bigger swoosh

[@mohammedimran7735]

Do the goretex crease like the regular aj1s??? Coz if not theyre just so much more convenient.

Try living in Scotland, with our weather we need everything covered in Gore-tex. 😂

[@gregorybob]

Seattle rains all year long you need water proof shoes that have style

[@manuelalvarez4185]

Saw these at Jimmy jazz in my size like two months after they released. Went home thinking I would see them again the next week and I’ll buy them but when I returned they were gone 🤦‍♂️ so I had to just get them on StockX. Luckily I didn’t pay too much over retail but the fees really inflated the total price. Jordan 1s are a really popular silhouette right now which is why I believe Nike is trying all the “gimmicks” with the model even though for me it doesn’t feel like a gimmick cause I’ve been wanting a stylish shoe that I can wear on a wet day without sacrificing style

Do the waterproof coat wear off? Here in Guatemala they're $275 so I wanna be sure they'll last for at least 2 years using them only on the raining season (2-3 months a year)

does it crease easily like the normal jordan 1s? or it doesnt crease too much?????? pls answer, thanks, nice vid tho :D

I don't find that they crease as much, as it's not the same material you usually find on jordan 1's
