The MoMA Nike Air Force 1 design is a highly anticipated shoe in 2018 and is released to mark an upcoming exhibit at New York's Museum of Modern Art—'Items: Is Fashion Modern?'
The event pays tribute to fashion clothing and accessories that have made a distinct mark on the world and consumer behavior in the 20th and 21st century. Among the displayed pieces will be the original Nike Air Force 1, released in 1982, as well as the Color of the Month AF1.
The MoMA Nike Air Force 1 reflects the collaborative efforts of Nike and OFF-WHITE Virgil Abloh; it is an all-black shoe design with a metallic Nike swoosh and standout "AIR" branding on the midsole.
