The Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 Mid “Graffiti” is a desirable colorway of the classic sneaker from the collaboration by the storied high fashion brand that was directed by the late Virgil Abloh. The “Graffiti” is one of multiple colorways of the Air Force 1 produced by Louis Vuitton, Nike, and Abloh in 2022, and unequivocally one of the most sought after releases of the year, as well.

Virgil Abloh presents a relatively straightforward take on Bruce Kilgore’s design with this Off-White x Air Force 1 Low. That isn’t to suggest there aren’t unique details on the reconstructed build: in addition to a mix of ripstop and suede, the upper features taped seams and a white Swoosh attached via zigzag stitching. Exposed foam and misplaced tags appear on the tongue, while ‘LOGO’ inscribed on the heel tab delivers a final meta flourish.

Bearing no direct affiliation with the heritage workwear brand, the Dunk Low Pro SB ‘Carhartt’ released in June 2004 during the height of Nike SB’s Silver Box era. The low-top features a light brown canvas upper reminiscent of the material used on traditional chore coats, with the monochromatic finish extending to the midsole. A lone shot of contrasting color arrives via the black outsole.
