Released at Nikelab stores in September of 2017, the Off-White x Air VaporMax was part of Virgil Abloh's 10-pair collaboration with Nike and quickly became one of the most coveted kicks of the year. The design features a black Flyknit upper with an oversized white stitched Swoosh, orange accents, and a full-length blacked-out Air VaporMax sole. The sneaker also includes a retro-style tongue and the collection's quotation mark motif can be found on the shoelaces and side panels.

The final pair of Virgil Abloh's 'The Ten' collection, the Off-White x Chuck Taylor All-Star 70 was released in May 2017 as part of the 'GHOSTING' pack. Featuring a translucent white upper and an ice-blue gradient on the sole, the shoe features bold lettering along its silhouette: LEFT and RIGHT on the toecaps, “VULCANIZED” over the midsole, “SHOELACES” on each lace, with Off-White's stamp on each side-panel. A red zip-tie hooked through the laces completes the look.

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.
