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.

The Off-White x Zoom Fly SP ‘Black’ features a deconstructed take on the performance runner. Highlighted by an unlined translucent upper with Virgil Abloh’s signature text on the shoe’s medial side, the shoe also sports exposed stitch detailing, most noticeably on the white Swoosh. A black Lunarlon midsole, embedded with a carbon-infused nylon plate, features ‘FOAM’ printed on the lateral side.

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.
