The Jordan 1 Retro High Element Gore-Tex Black Olive is the latest lifestyle update to Peter Morris iconic silhouette that was originally designed for basketball.


The upper of this weatherized lifestyle shoe combines nylon and nubuck textiles infused with Gore-Tex to make them water resistant. Olive nylon on the side and Sky Blue nylon on the toebox form the base, which is overlaid with black nubuck. The Sky Blue padded collar also has a black nubuck overlay that is stamped with a white Air Jordan Wings logo and adorned with a Gore-Tex tab. The white foam midsole houses Air for a springy cushion and the grippy outsole in translucent blue rubber features pods of matte black.


What makes this sneaker really stand out are the hits of orange on the upper. The Gore-Tex branding on the lateral heel and the Nike branding on this tongue tag add vibrance to this shoe.
