This Is Pair #33 From Off-White™ and Nike's Dunk Low "The 50" Collection
Yet another pair from the mind of Virgil Abloh.
Off-White™ and Nike‘s Dunk Low “The 50” collection has started to appear in the hands of the lucky “Early Access” winners, but not every pair has been officially seen as of yet — but thanks to the likes of @teddyssole, we can now see #33 out of #50 in full detail.
Like the pair that comes after (you guessed it, #34), the Nike Dunk Low is made from a mixture of cream-white leather for the base, hitting up areas such as the perforated toe box, mid-panel underlay, and parts of the heel, and gray suede for the overlaying components, appearing on the toe and vamp, mid-panel to the eyestay placket, Swoosh emblem, rear-quarter, and heel.
From #2 through to #49 in “The 50” collection, each iteration appears in a gray-white make-up that utilizes a different material composition per pair (and some different hues to separate each version), while the very first and last pairs offer a different aesthetic making them far rarer. Regardless, each is highly sought-after and is marked with Virgil Abloh’s usual stamps, from the branding on the medial rear-quarter to the silver foil-esque debossed code on the lateral side, which sits above a rubberized green marble-effect midsole plug that denotes which number this pair is.
Nike branding has been placed vertically along the side of the soft pink exposed mesh tongue, while a hole has been cut out of this in a nod to Off-White™’s current branding. Additionally, red rope laces weave across the entirety of the upper but are merely aesthetical, as standard “SHOELACES” still appear along the shoe’s tongue.
As @teddyssole notes, #33 is exclusive to the Asian market, but that hasn’t stopped resellers from listing pairs on sites such as StockX.
Elsewhere in the collaborative sneaker world, Salehe Bembury has teased his next New Balance masterpiece.
