@agatha well i know that much but you might be misunderstanding Gore-Tex is a membrane that traditionally has an outer fabric to protect it (it's very delicate) and it's usually nylon or polymide rather than leather. Like, the pegasus trail range and Salomon use a mesh upper. Leather kinda seems a little impractical but also just. Unusual. You never see that on jackets using gore tex
@CaptAsh ok maybe "sneakers" was too broad. the af1 is a leather sneaker. besides some experimental colorways, so it is maybe strange from a general perspective, but it's not once you take into account which sneaker is getting the gore‐tex
@agatha i mean, yeah, but if it gets restocked i'm really tempted to get a pair because i'm curious how the leather would affect the ability of the Gore-Tex to repel water. though. The toe box is tight. that's the only drawback i've had from getting normal AF1s
