The Off-White x Air Force 1 ‘Volt’ veers from the established orthodoxy of Virgil Abloh’s Nike design playbook, maximizing a neon hue from the Swoosh’s signature palette that the designer had previously left untouched. It coats the shoe’s mixed-material upper as well as its laces and midsole. Contrasting hits of black bring tonal variety to the Swoosh and medial-side quarter panel, which is printed with Virgil’s trademark text.

The Off-White x VaporMax was released as part of “The Ten” — a collaborative capsule from Virgil Abloh and Nike exploring ten classic silhouettes through two distinct themes: “Revealing,” featuring hand-cut and reconstructed builds, and “Ghosting,” characterized by translucent uppers. The Vapormax features an “inside out” appearance with a stitched-on tonal Swoosh on the mesh upper and signature red zip-tie.

The Off-White x Air Max 90 ‘Desert Ore’ represents yet another of Virgil Abloh’s fanciful takes on the retro silhouette. Unlike its stark black and white counterparts, this pair features a mixed-material upper dressed in a warm tan shade. A stitched-on in Swoosh in Bright Mango is joined by the usual Virgil flourishes, including a blue zip tie and lines of printed text on the medial side.

Released before Serena Williams’ opening match at the 2018 US Open, the Serena Williams x Off-White x Air Max 97 OG 'Queen' features a light pink upper with bullet train-inspired lines on the sidewall. It also sports an integrated lacing system, black accents on the Swoosh and ‘Air’ lettering on the heel. A full-length Max Air unit sits in the midsole, surrounded by fuschia, purple and gold gradient accents.

The Off-White x Air Max 97 ‘Menta’ features a translucent textile upper finished in Wolf Grey, complemented by Virgil Abloh’s signature text and tonal zigzag stitching throughout. The neutral color scheme is disrupted by a multicolored Swoosh that transitions from green to blue to red, while underfoot, a smoky grey rubber outsole maintains the shoe’s translucent theme.

With the Off-White x Zoom Fly SP ‘Tulip Pink,’ Virgil Abloh’s signature touches—including printed text on the midsole, laces and medial quarter panel—are overshadowed by the shoe’s vibrant color scheme. The design makes use of clashing shades of Tulip Pink and Racer Pink on the structural elements of the translucent upper, as well as the stitched-on Swoosh and Lunarlon midsole.
