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

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.

The Off-White x Air Max 90 ‘Desert Ore’ represents yet another of Virgil Abloh’s fanciful takes on the retro silhouette. Unlike its stark black and white counterparts, this pair features a mixed-material upper dressed in a warm tan shade. A stitched-on in Swoosh in Bright Mango is joined by the usual Virgil flourishes, including a blue zip tie and lines of printed text on the medial side.

Made in collaboration with Virgil Abloh’s luxury streetwear brand, the OFF-WHITE x women’s Air Jordan 4 SP ‘Sail’ delivers a subdued take on the classic silhouette. The deconstructed leather build is rendered in a monochromatic off-white finish, complete with semi-translucent TPU detailing on the molded eyelets, structural ‘wings’ and Nike Air-branded heel panel. Abloh’s signature flourishes include a tonal zip tie and ‘AIR’ printed above the visible Air sole unit.

The Nike Air Presto Off White is crafted from synthetic fabrics, as well as leather and rubber, with a black and white color scheme. Available in a black and muslin colorway, this Nike Air shoe has two distinct themes: ‘Revealing,’ with hand-cut and reconstructed builds, and ‘Ghosting,’ featuring translucent uppers. The Air Presto models also displays a tonal Swoosh on the mesh upper, a plastic zip tie, and the branding AIR written on the heel strap.

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.
