Off-White fans will be saddened to learn that this project will be the last for the great late Virgil Abloh. This partnership will honor the designer who passed away on November 28, 2021. During his time, Virgil broke barriers and opened doors for people of color in the fashion industry. The collection features a golden/bisque pale and creamy shade of brown, almost resembling sand on a beach. The design is said to take after the Project Maybach [electric show car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aim-leon-dore-x-porsche). The drop includes a thick pair of gloves with Virgil's last name, "ABLOH," spelled over a blue background across the front. There is a hoodie and a baseball cap with Mercedes lettering and logo to go along with the collection.
