The Gore-Tex lined Nike boot arrives in a completely different set up this year. Last year Nike went with a much lighter Lunarlon midsole, but this shoe is easily on par with any Timberland or boot that you are considering. The rich peanut butter colored leather and the heavy rubber outsole make this a street ready pair perfect for the harsh weather in the fall and winter and perfect for that NYC classic jorts with Timbs look, lol.
