A long standing classic since 1985, the  Air Jordan 1 is in the collection of just about any serious sneakerhead.

16 years earlier, in 1969, Gore-Tex (GTX) technology was invented by Bill Gore and in the 70s and 80s its use expanded across different types of clothing and shoes. GTX has long been used among many outdoor brands and is highly revered for its water and weather proofing capabilities.

With so many shoe collectors obsessed with keeping their kicks in pristine condition through cleaning them, using protective sprays that wear off quickly or simply avoiding the dirt, it’s about time Air Jordan adopted the preservation powers that Gore Tex has.

Let’s take a look at why the Jordan 1 Light Bone Gore Tex is such a hot release (skip to the end for resale value and where to buy)
