Avant-Garde Streetwear Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Off-White & Nike are Collaborating on an Air Force 1 Mid

— October 29, 2021 — Fashion
The Air Force 1 Mid is a style that's known for its clean-cut and simple look, and Nike is teaming up with Off-White to remix the classic silhouette. Off-White’s Virgil Abloh recently shared an official look at the collaboration, which features a textured white synthetic upper, criss-cross laces, and patterned ankle straps on their sides. Notably, the signature Nike Swoosh has been made translucent to the point that it looks like one of Off-White's iconic zip tie details. A pop of color can be seen near the lower portion of the sneakers, where bold, dark hues like pink and dark blue provide contrast.

As the designer describes, "The shoes are a mere by-product of trying to define a larger idea of why shoes are technically meaningful, emotional and relevant, etc."
