Off-White™ and Nike Unveil Their New Air Force 1 Mid Collaboration

— October 16, 2022 — Fashion
The Off-White™ and Nike collaborations are continuing to stack up as the duo unveils the new Air Force 1 Mid ‘Graffiti.’ The new model features a white leather base with velcro straps, perforated toe boxes, and a crossed lacing system that partially covers a set of Off-White™ “SHOELACES.” The iconic Swoosh is replaced with a semi-translucent material with stitching in the shape of the design, and a graffiti pattern in the shape of a skeleton hand serves as the main motif. Nike Air branding decorates the tongues and rear tabs and the popular Off-White™ Helvetica font sits on the inner medials. The sneakers are accented with orange banners and white zip-ties, staying true to the luxury brand’s signature style.

Although a release date for the Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 Mid ‘Graffiti’ is still pending, anticipate them to be on sale for $185 USD in the near future.
