Released at Nikelab stores in September of 2017, the Off-White x Air VaporMax was part of Virgil Abloh's 10-pair collaboration with Nike and quickly became one of the most coveted kicks of the year. The design features a black Flyknit upper with an oversized white stitched Swoosh, orange accents, and a full-length blacked-out Air VaporMax sole. The sneaker also includes a retro-style tongue and the collection's quotation mark motif can be found on the shoelaces and side panels.
