A song by Righeira said: “Summer is ending, and a year is going away.” That is it, summer has been over for a few weeks now, and slowly we will face the cold season. The time for changing your wardrobe is approaching, and it is time to dust off rain-resistant shoes, jackets, long pants, and hats. This article will find a selection of the best items on StockX that are completely water-resistant and suitable for cold and rain. Here we go!
New Balance 2002R Gore-Tex
First launched in 2010, the New Balance 2002R soon ended up out of the New Balance catalog due to a slightly–too-high price and a lack of viable designs from the Boston-based brand. However, much like history, the sneakers world is also made up of “occurrences and reoccurrences.” After years in the darkness, the New Balance 2002R has made a comeback in the past year, becoming one of the top sneakers in the New Balance catalog. Among the many good projects launched in recent months, we have to mention the New Balance 2002R in GORE-TEX, released in the “Dark Grey” color scheme. These shoes, featuring a mesh upper with suede overlays in two different shades of gray and a midsole with ABZORB and ABZORB SBS technology, also feature the GORE-TEX membrane, making them completely water-repellent and suitable for the coldest and rainiest days.
Jordan 1 High Gore-Tex Light Bone
The years in which Jordan 1 walked the parquet floors are now a beautiful memory. Nowadays, Michael Jordan’s first signature shoe is one of those shoes that has become a symbol of an increasingly fast-growing sneaker culture, and the many projects involving brands, designers and stores over the past 10 years are proof of that. Among the many versions made over the years, an honorable mention goes to the Air Jordan 1 in GORE-TEX, capable of perfectly combining the timeless style and beauty of the 1985-class silhouette with the comfort of having a shoe suitable for the winter months thanks to the presence of the GORE-TEX technology patented by Bill Gore in the 1970s. Minimal cost, maximum return!
Nike Air Force 1 Low Gore-Tex
The Air Force 1 is one of those shoes that looks good with any outfit. In 2019 Nike decided to rework the legendary 1982-class silhouette with a GORE-TEX membrane. The result is an Air Force 1 low suitable for all occasions, even on rainy days. In particular, the 2020 sail version is one of those must-have sneakers in your shoe rack.
Hoka One One Anacapa Low Gore-Tex
The Hoka Anacapa is a striking example of how a shoe created for hiking can also find space within the street culture. In fact, the Hoka Anacapa Low in GORE-TEX is the perfect shoe to use both on a mountain hike and during a ride in the city tour on a rainy day. The lightweight leather, recycled polyester collar, molded EVA midsole and Vibram® rubber tread makes it super comfortable and, most importantly, completely water-repellent.
Nike x Nocta x Top Boy Alien GORE-TEX Jacket
In March of this year, Nocta, the sub-label born from the partnership between Drake and Nike, launched a special jacket on the occasion of the release of the new season of Top Boy on Netflix, of which Drake himself is the executive producer. The jacket, worn by Jamie in a few episodes, features GORE-TEX Infinium technology, making it lightweight, breathable, yet water-resistant. A garment that will be with you throughout the winter.
Supreme The North Face Expedition Fleece
Supreme and The North Face are two brands that are so distinct from each other yet still able to give life to memorable collaborations. During FW18, the two brands created a collection of sensational outdoor items suitable for the harshest climates. These included the black Expédition Fleece Jacket made entirely of Cordura and GORE-TEX, which is still a highly sought-after piece among collectors who love both brands to this day. Get it now, before the price goes up again!
Palace x Engineered Garments Gore-Tex FA Pant
A few weeks ago, Palace and Engineered Garments came up with a collaboration that perfectly blends the outdoor spirit with the skater spirit. The result is a fantastic collection in all aspects. Looking for the best-looking product was a particularly tough task; however, our choice fell on the green GORE-TEX cargo jackets, perfect for this winter. We are leaving the link here if you also like the matching parka.
Supreme GORE-TEX Tech Camp Cap
During winter, we often go outside with an umbrella as the rain is always ready to knock on our doors. If you are one of those who do not particularly like going out with too much stuff on your back, Supreme GORE-TEX camp cap might be for you. In fact, the GORE-TEX membrane makes this cap completely water-repellent so that you can leave your umbrella at home.
Palace GORE-TEX Balaclava
The balaclava is undoubtedly one of the hottest fashion accessories of the moment. Although it was born in the mid-nineteenth century during the Crimean War to allow soldiers to have a single garment that covered their face, neck, and head, it has nevertheless managed to make it to the modern day by conquering the catwalks and streets all over the world. As a matter of fact, in the Palace FW 21 collection, we find the GORE-TEX balaclava in two different colors. A must-have accessory in your wardrobe.
Palace GORE-TEX Tri-Ferg Patch Beanie
The beanie is the most widely used accessory during the winter. The reason is simple: it keeps your head and, most importantly, your ears warm. It is, in many cases, made of wool and cotton, which makes it a little less suitable for rainy days as the fabric gets soaked with water. Palace has come up with the solution during FW 21: the American brand has created a GORE-TEX beanie featuring the Tri-Ferg logo, which is already ready to become your best friend this winter. If you haven’t purchased one yet, now is a good time!
