Nike x Off-White: History of the Sneaker Collaboration - FARFETCH

Nike X Off-White The 10 Air Max 97 OG White Sneakers - Farfetch

Debuting on the runway at Paris Fashion Week in June 2018, the Off-White x Air Max 97 in black sees Virgil Abloh outfit the retro runner with a translucent textile upper. A white Swoosh and ‘AIR’ lettering adorn the lateral side, while the quarter panel on the medial side is printed with more lines of Virgil’s signature text. The shoe’s reconstructed look is finished with a woven Nike tongue tag pushed to the side.

Releasing alongside an accompanying ‘All Hallow’s Eve’ colorway in orange, the Off-White x Blazer Mid ‘Grim Reapers’ completes Virgil Abloh’s Halloween-themed sneaker pack. The black and grey upper sports contrast orange stitching in celebration of the October holiday, along with an oversized white Swoosh, blue zip tie and Off-White lettering on the quarter panel of the shoe’s medial side.

The greatest sneaker collaborations of all-time

The April 2018 version of Virgil Abloh’s all-white Air VaporMax is mostly unchanged from the original pair from ‘The Ten.’ Stripped of color, the performance runner brings raw materials and unique details to the forefront, including an exposed-foam tongue, translucent Swoosh and Off-White suede eyestay. Printed above the clear VaporMax unit, the quotation ‘AIR’ print on the lateral side takes on an extra meta dimension.

Virgil Abloh presents a relatively straightforward take on Bruce Kilgore’s design with this Off-White x Air Force 1 Low. That isn’t to suggest there aren’t unique details on the reconstructed build: in addition to a mix of ripstop and suede, the upper features taped seams and a white Swoosh attached via zigzag stitching. Exposed foam and misplaced tags appear on the tongue, while ‘LOGO’ inscribed on the heel tab delivers a final meta flourish.
