Beijing-based Zhijun Wang has capped off a new sneaker mask, centering upon the most-popular Virgil Abloh x Nike Air Presto model from “The Ten” collection. The bespoke anti-pollution accessory was created as a result of China’s unreliable air quality. Noticeable features include the Presto’s tongue on the top front portion, the “AIR” heel strap wrapping around the lower section, and even Abloh’s signature red zip-tie tag affixed to the left side of the max.

Check out the Virgil Abloh x Nike Air Presto sneaker mask above and head over to Zhijun Wang’s Instagram account to view more projects.
