Winter is coming, and you shouldn't have to sacrifice your street style just to stay warm. Jordan Brand has come up with a great solution that'll keep your fans starstruck without delivering frostbite.

The Air Jordan 8 Retro "Winterized Gunsmoke" was specifically designed to be resistant to cooler temps. Shades of Gunsmoke, Metallic Silver and black cast a wintery glow on the shoe, which drops in men's and grade school kids' sizes on November 27.

What makes this shoe a perfect fit for winter? In addition to its versatile dark color scheme, the AJ 8 Retro "Winterized Gunsmoke" also features a water-resistant nubuck upper that should keep out snowfall and slush. The deep black tone should prevent mud and muck stains from being too apparent.

This hot launch also includes a warmer collar lining so your feet stay warm and cozy. This is black as well so it melds perfectly with the upper.

Finally, there are also reflective ankle straps with Air Jordan branding to help you stay safe during those late afternoon walks when the sun's already set for the day. These are bright silver, so they also look fresh even without lights shining on them.

Other fun details include the graphic mudguards along the midsole that almost look like a gray camo print. Gunsmoke overlays cover the side panels and tongue. The tongue branding naturally features a shadowed Jumpman in the middle of a framing circle.

A black heel tab will help you slide these on faster. Beneath that is a black midsole with reflective silver inserts at the heel and forefoot. Under it all is a black rubber outsole that'll help you keep your grip even in slippery situations.

Since these former basketball kicks are made for winter, don't be afraid to style them as such. They'll look right at home with black sweatpants and a gray puffer jacket. Pair them with cozy Sherpa black crew socks as well.

The Jordan 8 Retro "Winterized Gunsmoke" is the cold-weather shoe you've always wanted. Evoking both style and warmth, these shoes can be yours starting November 27, when they drop in men's and grade school kids' sizes online and at your local Hibbett | City Gear.
