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 🤷‍♂️

    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

      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…..

      @@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.

    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

    Why don't you put that thing on the water to test it properly? That would be a nice video.
