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

The History of Off-White x Nike Collaborations

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.

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 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.
