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

This monochromatic take on the Air Presto is the second time Virgil Abloh and Nike collaborated on this iconic silhouette. The July 2018 iteration came a few mere months after it’s two-tone predecessor made it’s debut as part of Abloh and Nike’s ‘The Ten’ Collection.

Product DetailsInspired by Michael Jordan's alma mater, the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'UNC' carries a classic two-tone composition, filtered through Virgil Abloh's unique design prism. The process involves taking a white leather base with dark powder blue overlays and adding embellishments that convey an expressive, handmade quality.

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.

The Off-White x Zoom Fly SP ‘Black’ features a deconstructed take on the performance runner. Highlighted by an unlined translucent upper with Virgil Abloh’s signature text on the shoe’s medial side, the shoe also sports exposed stitch detailing, most noticeably on the white Swoosh. A black Lunarlon midsole, embedded with a carbon-infused nylon plate, features ‘FOAM’ printed on the lateral side.
