Air Force One x Off White

At First Glance

At first glance you can see the pretty cool additions to a variation of a classic. Air Force 1 lows was a thing of beauty in the late 90's early 2000's. Virgil Abloh turned a dying mid style shoe and revived it with the black and the white color ways . I love the addition of the air bubble with the slight orange in the middle of the bubble with the little orange tag under the swoosh to kind of shine. I also like how he mad the back of the midsole is squiggly and match that on the bubble too. I'm glad he went with white lace to go over the green lace instead of his usual orange because I think that would be too much orange on the shoe.

A View From Above

Looking from above you can see how the white lace compliments the green really well and to bring it all together they added the classic tag but in white. The only issue I have with the shoe is the spikes and not because the shoe has a spike but it's almost like it takes away from your ability to wear them. In a market where resell is king, you don't want to destroy what makes the shoes unique. Before you read any further people buy both slightly and heavily worn shoes. So you can wear these a few times and absolutely sell them and breaking the spikes off after one or two wears with dramatically decrease the resell value.

Views From The Other Side

Usually, we look at the back of the shoe but when you are looking at Off Whites it's important to look at the inside of the shoe. Like the typical Off-White, it's stamped on the side with it's Off White Nike brand even though the swoosh you can't really see it. The stitching on the swoosh along with the spike gives it a sort of a punk rock look. All in all, these are a trophy shoe that is brought to put up and show your friends that you have a shoe that's probably hard to get. I'll give these a 6.8/10
