The Air Force 1 Mid is back in winter mode for Fall 2026, adding GORE-TEX, a Vibram outsole and a few tougher details to the usual build. So far, the shoe has surfaced in “Black/Smoke Grey” and “Summit White/Blue Tint/Black”.

GORE-TEX construction helps keep out rain and snow, while the toe box drops the standard perforations for a dimpled finish. The biggest change underfoot is the Vibram outsole, which gives the Mid more traction for wet and icy conditions than the regular Air Force 1 setup.

The ankle strap has also been reworked with a metal G-shaped buckle. It gives the shoe a more utility-focused look, but the overall shape still stays close to the Air Force 1 Mid people already know.

Both Nike Air Force 1 Mid GORE-TEX Vibram colorways are expected to release during Fall 2026 through Nike and participating retailers. More pairs could surface before the season rolls around.
