Off-White x Nike: The Sneaker Collab Of The Century

The Louis Vuitton and Nike “Air Force 1” by Virgil Abloh

In 2022, 40 years since the Air Force 1 was introduced, a culmination of the rich history of the silhouette was realized with the introduction of the Louis Vuitton x Nike “Air Force 1” by Virgil Abloh. Released posthumously, Alboh’s work seamlessly connected the decades of prominence of Nike’s famed sneaker. In total, Virgil Abloh designed 47 bespoke pairs of the Nike “Air Force 1” for the Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2022 show in collaboration with Nike.

The Nike Zoom Kobe 6 Protro ‘White Del Sol’ brings back the original ‘POP’ colorway from 2011, updated with refreshed tooling and a sleeker shape. Polyurethane ‘islands’ create a scaly texture on the white and grey upper, fortified with a black molded heel counter and accented with a matching black Swoosh. The Cushlon midsole packs a large and flexible Air Zoom Turbo unit in the forefoot, along with a softer foam compound in the heel.
