Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Mid “Varsity Maize” shoes are complimented with stark white hues

Few collaborations have been as successful as the one between Nike and Off-White. The latter, which was established by the late Virgil Abloh, quickly gained notoriety for revolutionizing sneaker design and emerging as a major player in high-street fashion.

Virgil left a ton of creations for the world before he passed away in 2021, as evidenced by the numerous iterations of the Off-White x Nike shoes as well as the previous Art Basel exhibition. With the most recent joint Air Force 1 Mid debuting in "Varsity Maize," Abloh's legacy on the AF1 Mid lives on.

Off-White's strikingly redesigned AF1 Mid version features varsity maize along with white as its two-tone color palette. The "Varsity Maize" pair shares the same design as the "Pine Green" model but has a full-leather finish.

The mudguard, eyestays, collar, lockdown strap, and heel are all delicately wrapped in yellow tones, creating a striking contrast with the clean white that is used to decorate the toe box as well as the midfoot. The design adds a white lace set that surrounds the top, contrasting with the traditional yellow lace set that runs along the tongue.

On the medial midfoot, the recognizable Off-White trademark is prominently printed in Helvetica font style. An unexpected addition to the design is a grim reaper logo that is stitched on the lateral side. A subtle yellow tint is seamlessly incorporated with the quickly spotted Off-White zip-tie, and the midfoot Swoosh prominently displays additional stitching elements.

The footwear is finished off underneath with a modified AF1 sole unit. The sole's heel area stands out thanks to its wavy finish, visible Air unit, and partially spiky yellow rubber outer sole unit.

The legendary Air Force 1 silhouette has a legacy that is highlighted on the brand's webpage in the following words:

"Debuting in 1982 as a basketball must-have, the Air Force 1 came into its own in the '90s. The clean look of the classic white-on-white AF1 was endorsed from the basketball courts to the block and beyond."

It follows as:

"Finding its rhythm in hip-hop culture, releasing limited collabs and colorways, Air Force 1 has become an iconic sneaker around the globe. And with over 2000 iterations of this staple, its impact on fashion, music, and sneaker culture can’t be denied.”
