We already know that Off-White and Nike have an unprecedented number of sneaker coming our way. Previously, we’ve been relying on mock-ups but now, thanks to the latest Off-White show, we have a good look at several upcoming pairs.
Virgil Abloh hosted the Fall/Winter 2019 Off-White fashion show yesterday, to the excitement of sneakerheads everywhere. Thankfully, Virgil wasted no time in unveiling some of the new gear he has prepared for his Nike collection. This is the first time we’ve seen some of these colorways in person, as all of them were previously leaked by our friends Py_Rates. The new colorways debuted on two fan-favorite models: the Air Max 97 and the Blazer Mid.
For 2018, Off-White and Nike have created two colorways set to release later this year. The first follows most of the unacknowledged “guidelines” of Part 2, which entail reversing the original collaborative colorway to its opposites, like white to black or black to white. This can be seen in the more understated Off-White Air Max 97, as the entire shoe takes on a pitch black tone, apart from the Swoosh and branding. The second colorway will retain the white base from the original, although this time the pair will be infused with a new color called “Menta”. Originally thought to be a pure mint-green tone, the new images show a Swoosh that features a color gradient from green to red. As for the Blazer, the new pair will come with a faded yellow upper, accented by vanilla-toned eyelets and soles. The large Swoosh on the side will come in bold orange on this pair with the signature blue tab on the heel. The new colorway works well with the Blazer silhouette, and it will be interesting to see how Virgil applies it to other models in the collection.
The new colorways from Virgil Abloh’s Off-White x Nike collection have not been announced for release, though they are expected to drop throughout the coming months. Most of the airs previewed are set for the Fall, though they are certainly subject to change. Check out the images from the Off-White fashion show below, and stay tuned to JustFreshKicks for more information regarding the release of the new colorways.
