Is the Nike V2K Run Gore-Tex the Best Winter Sneaker?

Following a considerably steady run of popularity within the sneaker-sphere, the Nike V2K is now reaching even higher heights with a GORE-TEX upgrade. 

Following in the footsteps of its Swoosh counterparts like the Vomero, Air Max 90 and Air Force 1. Available across two colourways of ‘Light Iron Ore’ and ‘Black’, these kicks carry the model’s signature steez with a refashioning that protects them from the elements. 

A Closer Look at the Nike V2K Run Gore-Tex …

Keeping that y2k appeal at the forefront of the design, these kicks provide a minimalist yet effective appeal that means versatile styling for everyday. The ‘Light Iron Ore’ pair blends off-white hues with beige components, whilst gold-hue accents flood the midsole and upper detailing. Looking to its dark counterpart, each segment portrays an understated essence, with a small detail of opulence subtly embedded into the front caging.

Aside from the GTX advancement and a significantly chunkier heel, the V2K maintains the construction that we all know and love. Bringing a fit that’s both breathable but protected, the mesh upper works in tandem with the waterproof textile to provide an airy feel. Lastly, a rubber outsole means traction that you can rely on, no matter what the path has in-store.
