Closer Look at the Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 Mid in Black
The aggressive kicks come packaged in a special brick wall-inspired box.
Virgil Abloh will forever be remembered for his undeniable impact in the fashion and footwear spaces, and while his forthcoming initiatives may be put on pause out of respect of his recent passing, we do know that he had a few Nike offerings in the works. One of those items is the Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 Mid in Black which — after first emerging back in October — has now popped up by way of detailed imagery.
The late designer certainly didn’t hold back when it came to the details of these kicks. Upper halves come engineered with a synthetic material that features black and dark gray streaky patterns across the mid-foot and toe boxes. Stitched-on Swooshes and canvas ankle straps are also readied with a stealthy skin while pops of orange appear on the lateral heel tabs and pink and yellow accents adorn the lace toggles. Hits of white are also present here atop the laces and medial side’s Helvetica branding.
Beneath all of that, you’ll find a remixed midsole with curvy edges, bold orange Air bags and track spikes on the soles that color-block with pink, blue and green accents.
An official release date for these could be pushed back given the sensitivity surrounding his death, but as of now, these are slated to launch in 2022 alongside a white colorway.
