There's a definite January chill in the air which might just persuade some of us to swap out our favourite trainers for an ankle covering alternative.

Fortunately, Nike's new Airquent shoe provides a perfect amalgamation of the two, uniting the comfort of a sneaker with the cosiness of a boot.

Arriving in winter-ready Burgundy Crush and Black colourways, this silhouette is a hybrid rendition of the Air More Uptempo, complete with the sneaker's statement "AIR"; logo.

The upper features a sock-like knit fabric, which extends towards the ankle to form a snug trend-focussed collar, while a unique visible Air infused midsole provides expert cushioning under foot.

A patent mudguard also adds contrast at the toe and heel, aiming to protect your feet from the season's unpredictable weather conditions.

Completing the mutated sneaker boot is a classic mini Swoosh, which is embroidered into the collar in matching hues.

Nike's Airquent duo will be available to buy soon, so be sure to stay tuned for more release details and updates.
