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.

With the Off-White x Chuck 70 ‘White,’ Virgil Abloh places an emphasis on accessibility and wearability. Consequently, the iconic silhouette is dressed in conventional cotton canvas and finished in a versatile crisp white shade. Virgil even keeps the shoe’s signature and rubber license plate, though the latter is flipped upside down. Additional flourishes include the Off-White’s trademark diagonal stripes on the midsole, printed text on the medial side and a bright orange outsole.
