Nike Air Force 1 Mid '07 GORE-TEX Vibram Black: waterproof leather and Vibram outsole

· By Redacción HYPEIBIZA

Nike lists full-grain leather and a Vibram outsole on this pair, with a waterproof GORE-TEX finish, giving the black Air Force 1 Mid its wet-weather focus.

The Nike Air Force 1 Mid '07 GORE-TEX Vibram in Black/Smoke Grey/Black is a wet-weather version of the mid-cut Air Force 1. The brand's product details name a full-grain leather upper with a waterproof GORE-TEX finish and a Vibram outsole. Shops list the pair for 5 November 2026, a reported date rather than a confirmed brand launch.

Style code IO1875-001 identifies this exact pair. The colour combination is Black/Smoke Grey/Black. Nike describes the leather as full-grain and durable, and says it ages well with wear.

The leather and the membrane

GORE-TEX is a membrane in Nike's description, and it keeps moisture from getting inside. It is also wind-resistant and breathable. The leather gives the shoe its structure and its look; the membrane handles the water.

Nike places the pair in rain, sleet and snow. Those conditions explain the waterproof finish on the upper and the extra grip underneath. The two features are designed to work together in cold, wet weather.

This is what separates the shoe from a plain leather Air Force 1 Mid. A standard pair relies on leather and a rubber outsole. This pair adds a named waterproof membrane and a named rubber sole.

The combination stands out within the line: the standard Mid keeps the leather-and-rubber recipe, while this pair uses a technical membrane and a specialist sole. Both changes are named on the shoe, so you can check them in person.

A dark upper with little contrast

The upper reads as black from most angles. A tonal Swoosh runs along the side without a contrasting outline. GORE-TEX lettering on the lateral side is the clearest branding cue after the Swoosh.

Smoke Grey appears in the official colour name, but the overall look stays dark and close to monochrome. The ankle strap crosses the front of the collar and closes with a hook-and-loop fastening. Padding around the ankle is part of the Mid shape and stays black here.

Vibram under the foot

Nike fits a Vibram outsole and links it to traction and durability. The brand also mentions slippery surfaces, which is where the rubber compound earns its place. Visible Vibram marking on the sole makes the part easy to spot.

The midsole is foam, and Nike Air sits inside it to cushion each step. The shoe therefore handles two jobs in different places: water and grip at the upper and the sole, cushioning under the foot. The outsole itself is rubber.

How the pair fits the Air Force 1 Mid line

The Air Force 1 started as a basketball shoe before turning into a classic for daily wear. Its core formula is a leather upper, a foam midsole and an Air unit in the heel. The Mid version raises the collar and adds the strap across the front.

The Mid keeps that higher cut and the strap across the front. The extra height covers more of the ankle than the Low. This pair follows that shape and keeps the padding around the collar.

Most Air Force 1 Mids stay close to the original recipe. This pair keeps the shape and adds two technical parts: the GORE-TEX membrane and the Vibram outsole.

A second colourway in the same build is Summit White/Black, listed for 20 October 2026. The black version is the darker of the two.

What the 5 November date means

Shops list 5 November 2026 for IO1875-001. A listing date is when retailers expect or plan to sell the pair. It can move before stock lands, and it is not the same as a brand launch calendar entry.

Treat 5 November as reported timing until the brand confirms it. The product details on the shoe are already public, so the design is clear even while the date stays open. That split matters if you are planning a purchase.

If the black build is the one you want, IO1875-001 is the style to look for.
