Off White’s deal with Nike continues, so we’re getting one more huge drop. Another Off White x Nike Air Max 90, which appears like overkill now, but an overjoy for many fans. The new version has an upper university red color, and early mockups predict team orange, hyper jade, and bright mango will be added along. The major leaks or teases haven’t reached us yet, but we know this colorway will be a hit with Off White’s signature white and tag.
Virgil Abloh, CEO of Off White has stated their “The Ten” partnership with Nike is coming to an end. It’s not a fall from grace or cooling of branding appeal as this line of shoes is still as popular as they were in the beginning. Though it’s possible to see Virgil tiring from success, or wanting to move onto something new. Not only does he run Off White but he is the artistic director over at Louis Vuitton. He doesn’t need Nike, because his brand is super popular in itself, and as a designer, he has enough room and opportunities to blend his creative juices. But the end of Off White x Nike Air Max 90 is a loss to the fans.
This next one will surely follow suit. If you’re into the Off White x Nike scene you’ll understand this, the high demand and limited supply of this sneaker union. It’s crazy hard to get a pair on release day, crazy hard, so if you don’t the cost of getting one will be in the thousands when dealing with ravenous merchants. The sneakers are still making a killing on the secondary and resale markets. Founded in 1990, the Air Max has been one of Nike’s tried and true titans of sales, and add Off White’s designer and premium appeal, and you have something that will go down as a legendary pairing.
