The Air Force 1 has been subject to some interesting experiments over the last year or so, with foamposite and hiking make overs being highlights. First released last winter, the Air Force 1 Hi Duckboot combined unusual aesthetics and substance which allowed this basketball classic to be worn in tough weather conditions.

This new makeover has many design elements which provide excellent protection for a variety of environments and conditions. Worked out with a waterproofed toe, ‘Watershield’ leathers and chunky grippy outsoles, you know you’ve got some serious footwear for winter with these. Coming in an appealing black/khaki upper, gum outsole and red laces that provide a contrasting ‘pop’, it’s a colour palette that appeals to the fall season.
