The Oxford Nexus 1.0 Air Motorcycle Boots in Black / White are ventilated, calf-height sports boots for warm-weather road riding and track-focused use. This colourway combines a predominantly black base with contrasting white panels. The protective construction is shared across the Nexus 1.0 Air family.

Designed and engineered from the ground up, Nexus brings together four years of Oxford research and development and more than 40 years of experience with Oxford-branded motorcycle equipment. The Air boot combines extensive protective reinforcement with perforated panels and a breathable 3D mesh lining.

Who are these boots for?

These boots are for riders looking for a highly protective, ventilated sports boot with an articulated ankle brace and removable toe sliders. They are particularly relevant to sports bike riders who value airflow, feel at the controls and substantial ankle, shin, heel and foot protection.

Oxford size guide

Oxford lists all three Nexus 1.0 Air colourways in EU sizes 40–47 with the following UK equivalents. Use the live size selector to check current availability.

A protective motorcycle boot should hold the heel and ankle securely without restricting circulation or control movement. Allow for the socks you normally ride in. Contact Moto Central or visit the showroom if you would like fitting guidance. You can also consult the official Oxford size guide.

What is supplied?

• One pair of Oxford Nexus 1.0 Air motorcycle boots in Black / White
• Pair of removable toe sliders fitted to the boots

Weather and use guidance

The Air version is built around perforated panels and breathability. Oxford does not list a waterproof membrane for this model, so it should not be treated as a waterproof boot. For wet-weather riding, consider waterproof overboots or Oxford’s separate Nexus 1.0 Dry2Dry boot.

Product questions

What does the Level 2/2/2/2 rating mean?

It means the boot achieved Level 2 for height, abrasion resistance, impact-cut resistance and transverse rigidity under EN 13634.

Are the toe sliders included?

Yes. Removable toe sliders are fitted to the boots.

Are the Oxford Nexus 1.0 Air boots waterproof?

Oxford describes this as a perforated airflow boot and does not list a waterproof membrane. It should therefore not be relied upon for waterproofing.

What is the upper made from?

The upper is microfibre, with TPU and PU protective components placed around the shin, calf, ankle, toe, heel and footbed.

Can Moto Central help with sizing?

Yes. Please ask the Moto Central team for fitting advice or help ordering another currently available size or Nexus 1.0 Air colourway.
