As the chill in the air intensifies, and showers become more frequent, we’re ecstatic that the Jordan Brand continues to pepper us with thrilling new editions of the cherished weatherproof Air Jordan 1, also known as the Air Jordan 1 Element. Earlier this year, we were introduced to this silhouette’s olive and aqua version. Yet, in a few fleeting weeks, we will have a chance to secure an even more captivating model, the Air Jordan 1 Element Gore-Tex “Sky J Purple”. But before we delve into the vibrant details of this imminent release, let’s pause for a bit to admire the allure of the overall design and growing popularity of the Air Jordan 1 Element.

These kicks first took their weatherproof fashion plunge back in the festive season of 2021 and have since become an indispensable asset in any discerning Air Jordan 1 lover’s winter wardrobe rotation. With its Gore-Tex fabric warding off water and harsh weather conditions, the Air Jordan 1 Element has positioned itself as a trusted friend amidst downpours and snowflakes. Add in the impeccable mix of textile and nubuck overlays, and you have a sneaker that’s not only going to last but also exudes a plush allure.

The upcoming colourway of the Air Jordan 1 Element offers a refreshingly subtle colour palette of “Sky J Purple”, “Shimmer”, “Honeycomb”, and “Sail” across the sneaker’s Gore-Tex, textile, and nubuck elements. The waterproof Gore-Tex upper is covered in an understated pastel pink “Shimmer” hue on the quarter panels and tongue, while the toe box and collar boast a yellow “Honeycomb” tone. The overlays bedazzle in “Sky J Purple” nubuck, setting up an enticing visual dichotomy. This rich purple hue further graces the laces and accentuates the 3M reflective Nike Swoosh.

Rounding off the upper are final flourishes like the pink iconic Wings logo on the ankle flap and a yellow reflective Gore-Tex logo distinctively stationed towards the sneaker’s heel. The upper rests atop a sail-coloured midsole, coupled with a dynamic marbled outsole that is bathed in deep purple hues and splashes of honeycomb yellow. This interplay of purple and yellow continues underfoot, creating a visually captivating contrast.

If you’re searching for an exemplary high-top sneaker that seamlessly blends a vintage charm with modern comfort and functionality, your search ends with the Air Jordan 1 Element Gore-Tex. As mentioned before, the waterproof Gore-Tex upper secures a dry and protected environment that is perfect for any weather condition, while a grippy outsole provides great traction for any terrain. You can snag this dream sneaker from Nike.com and select Jordan outlets starting October 14th at a retail price of $200 USD for mens sizes. Until then, don’t forget to follow us for more sneaker drops and reviews.
