Nike Initiator Gore-Tex Anthracite Metallic Cool Grey IB3083-001

Practical and hard-wearing sneakers for the city and an active day in any weather. The Nike Initiator Gore-Tex in the Anthracite / Metallic Cool Grey colorway combines a restrained design, moisture protection, and a comfortable fit, making the model suitable for both men and women. The pair performs confidently in transitional seasons and changeable conditions while remaining comfortable for everyday wear.

Materials and build quality

• The upper is made from a combination of leather, suede, and synthetic inserts—this improves durability and helps the sneakers keep a neat look longer.

• The Gore-Tex membrane provides water resistance: the IB3083-001 model protects better from rain and dampness while keeping comfort inside.

• Reinforced zones in key areas support the foot and make the construction more reliable for an active pace.

Technologies for comfort and durability

1. An anatomical fit and well-thought-out upper construction help secure the foot and reduce the feeling of fatigue during long walks.

2. The soft inner lining and insole provide pleasant cushioning with every step—comfortable all day long, including extended walks and getting around the city.

3. The rubber outsole with a grippy tread adds stability on wet and slippery surfaces and is designed for regular wear.
