Nike is taking its Jordan 1 sneaker to rugged new heights. Meet the Air Jordan 1 High Brooklyn Workboot, an AJ 1 sneaker gone full workwear boot.

It's essentially a beefed-up and dripped-out AF1 sneaker combined with a Timberland boot. Except, it also comes with a mega-thick outsole.

Hybrid shoes are the belle of the ball right now. But this beefy boot is a measured mix unlike anything else in the Swoosh's wheelhouse.

The sneaker maintains its classic Air Jordan flavor with a perforated toe box and classic Swoosh, hallmarks of the signature sneaker. But that traction lug outsole and heightened shaft elevate the shoe to total takedown territory.

The Air Jordan 1 High Brooklyn Workboot, arriving later this year on the Nike website for $185, combines the best elements of a work boot, a treasured basketball sneaker, and then sticks it all on a tremendously oversized sole unit.

Now, Nike is no boot novice. The Swoosh has dished out durable delicacies like its ultra-tough Duckboot and the cozy Nike Terrascout in the past.

But in terms of stature, the Brooklyn Workboot is in a league of its own, standing as the largest boot offering from the Swoosh. When it comes to work boots that moonlight as a pair of sneakers, Nike says bigger is infinitely better.
