OFF-WHITE™ X NIKE BLAZER LOW BLACK/GREEN
From AED 1,300.00
The announcement comes after Virgil Abloh‘s untimely death in late November 2021. “Prior to his passing, Abloh was characteristically prolific. In his planning with Nike, Abloh and his creative trust had developed fully realized product collaborations and uniquely-Abloh marketing and storytelling vehicles for seasons to come,” the Swoosh shares in a press release, which additionally states that the upcoming drop arrives “in accordance with Abloh’s wishes and in partnership with his wife, Shannon Abloh.”
The co-branded sneakers feature Abloh’s perforated details throughout the upper, in addition to the iconic Helvetica branding on the sides. The silhouette is offered in two colorways — a black/green pair and a white/yellow iteration. Both are highlighted with cord detailing signature to Off-White™ x Nike’s collaborations. True to Abloh’s style, the collaborative design is updated with playful elements, including the vulcanized sole. As shared by Nike, Abloh asked the creative team in a text message during the development process: “Can we… splice the real Humara tooling and fuse it into a vulcanized sole?”
