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.

The final pair of Virgil Abloh's 'The Ten' collection, the Off-White x Chuck Taylor All-Star 70 was released in May 2017 as part of the 'GHOSTING' pack. Featuring a translucent white upper and an ice-blue gradient on the sole, the shoe features bold lettering along its silhouette: LEFT and RIGHT on the toecaps, “VULCANIZED” over the midsole, “SHOELACES” on each lace, with Off-White's stamp on each side-panel. A red zip-tie hooked through the laces completes the look.

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.

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 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.

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.
