NIKE AIR JORDAN 1 X VIRGIL ABLOH

We headed down to the Nike Off Campus London events to bring you a closer look at the NIKE AIR JORDAN 1 X VIRGIL ABLOH.

The internet is basically on fire with all the rumours and anticipation around the OFF-WHITE™ designer’s huge Nike collab project, and the shoes themselves more than live up to the hype. The Jordan 1 is a highlight of the collection for many fans, steering away from the predominantly translucent off-white colourways of the pack in favour of the familiar Jordan black-and-red combo. But this ain’t no standard colour-up of the basketball classic; Virgil has really gone to town here, deconstructing and rebuilding the iconic silhouette to create something totally unexpected that looks like a future relic unearthed from the Nike prototype archives. Branding elements such as the Swoosh and tongue labels have been removed and reattached with blue and red stitching details, while the signature OFF-WHITE™ “TEXT IN QUOTATION MARKS” adorns the “AIR” sole and “SHOELACES” just in case you weren’t sure what they were. And of course, the whole thing is finished off with the brand’s iconic zip-tie wrapped around the laces. It’s generally felt that footwear classics like the AJ1 should be treated with respect – but if the experimental approach produces result this damn good, then Virgil gets a pass to do what he likes…
