Virgil Abloh debuted numerous hues and versions of the Louis Vuitton x Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low at the Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring 2022 runway show in Paris on June 24th, 2021.
Off-White and Louis Vuitton‘s Nike Air Force 1 line includes both mid and low-top variants. Additionally, Green, Blue, Brown, and White will be utilised throughout.
Each Nike Air Force 1 Low will have Louis Vuitton logo, offset tongue tags, the word ‘AIR’ on the midsole, and words printed on the laces. Along with the shoes, Louis Vuitton luggage is shown, which bears a Nike symbol tag on the top of the bags.
“A cultural landmark in its own right, the Nike Air Force 1 now functions as an object d’art indicative of self-generated subcultural provenance,” Vuitton claimed in its exhibition notes, even using the word “hacking” instead of “collaboration.” “Virgil Abloh partners with Nike on custom Air Force 1s for Spring-Summer 2022, blending the trainer’s iconic codes with Louis Vuitton emblems and materials in respect to the hip-hop culture that moulded him.”
