The Off-White x Zoom Fly SP ‘Black’ features a deconstructed take on the performance runner. Highlighted by an unlined translucent upper with Virgil Abloh’s signature text on the shoe’s medial side, the shoe also sports exposed stitch detailing, most noticeably on the white Swoosh. A black Lunarlon midsole, embedded with a carbon-infused nylon plate, features ‘FOAM’ printed on the lateral side.

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.

The Off-White x Air Max 90 ‘Black’ offers a unique blend of materials on the upper, which combines a ripstop base with nubuck overlays and a suede mudguard. The all-black finish is contrasted by a white Swoosh with zigzag stitching, a small orange tab on the quarter panel and orange stitching on the exposed-foam tongue. Virgil Abloh’s signature text block makes an appearance on the shoe’s medial side.
