Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 Mid "Graffiti" DE0500-100

Following its initial reveal last month, the Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 Mid “Graffiti” has received an on-foot look. The model sees its first reinvention from Virgil Abloh’s creative team and succeeds an extensive line-up of previous releases such as “The Ten” collection and the Air Force 1 Low “Brooklyn,” which dropped in celebration of Abloh’s “Figures of Speech” exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum.

The collaboration’s latest entry sees the Nike Air Force 1 Mid styled in a premium white leather base with classic velcro straps around the throat for increased hold. Puncturations run across the toe boxes, while crossed lacing systems sit atop traditional laces marked with Off-White™’s emblematic “SHOELACES” lettering. Swooshes are replaced at the laterals with a semi-translucent filling accompanied by exposed stitching, sitting atop branded markings fashioned in vibrant graffiti alongside an illustration of a skeleton hand grasping planet Earth.

Embroidered Nike Air branding artistically hits the tongues, while customary hints are seen on the rear tabs. The collaboration’s recognizable Helvetica text is stamped on the inner medials along with orange banners and milky zip-ties. The design is complete with wavy midsoles highlighting warped orange Air units and tonal spiked rubber bottoms.

Take an on-foot look at the Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 Mid “Graffiti” in the gallery above. A release date for these is still unknown, but expect them to drop in the coming months for $185 USD.
