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.

Released before Serena Williams’ opening match at the 2018 US Open, the Serena Williams x Off-White x Air Max 97 OG 'Queen' features a light pink upper with bullet train-inspired lines on the sidewall. It also sports an integrated lacing system, black accents on the Swoosh and ‘Air’ lettering on the heel. A full-length Max Air unit sits in the midsole, surrounded by fuschia, purple and gold gradient accents.

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.

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.

The Off-White x Air Max 97 ‘Menta’ features a translucent textile upper finished in Wolf Grey, complemented by Virgil Abloh’s signature text and tonal zigzag stitching throughout. The neutral color scheme is disrupted by a multicolored Swoosh that transitions from green to blue to red, while underfoot, a smoky grey rubber outsole maintains the shoe’s translucent theme.

The Off-White x Zoom Fly is one of five sneakers from ‘The Ten’ collection that features a translucent synthetic upper— a design quirk that Virgil Abloh leverages here as a means of revealing the performance runner’s inner workings. It’s a final consumer product that’s cloaked in the trappings of an early-stage prototype, mounted on a highly responsive Foam midsole that’s ready to take on the streets.
