The Off-White x Air Max 90 ‘Desert Ore’ represents yet another of Virgil Abloh’s fanciful takes on the retro silhouette. Unlike its stark black and white counterparts, this pair features a mixed-material upper dressed in a warm tan shade. A stitched-on in Swoosh in Bright Mango is joined by the usual Virgil flourishes, including a blue zip tie and lines of printed text on the medial side.

Releasing alongside an accompanying ‘All Hallow’s Eve’ colorway in orange, the Off-White x Blazer Mid ‘Grim Reapers’ completes Virgil Abloh’s Halloween-themed sneaker pack. The black and grey upper sports contrast orange stitching in celebration of the October holiday, along with an oversized white Swoosh, blue zip tie and Off-White lettering on the quarter panel of the shoe’s medial side.

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.

A guide to Virgil Abloh's most iconic sneakers and where to buy them

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.
