The April 2018 version of Virgil Abloh’s all-white Air VaporMax is mostly unchanged from the original pair from ‘The Ten.’ Stripped of color, the performance runner brings raw materials and unique details to the forefront, including an exposed-foam tongue, translucent Swoosh and Off-White suede eyestay. Printed above the clear VaporMax unit, the quotation ‘AIR’ print on the lateral side takes on an extra meta dimension.

The Off-White x Zoom Fly SP ‘Black’ features a deconstructed take on the performance runner.

A black Lunarlon midsole, embedded with a carbon-infused nylon plate, features ‘FOAM’ printed on the lateral side.

Debuting on the runway at Paris Fashion Week in June 2018, the Off-White x Air Max 97 in black sees Virgil Abloh outfit the retro runner with a translucent textile upper. A white Swoosh and ‘AIR’ lettering adorn the lateral side, while the quarter panel on the medial side is printed with more lines of Virgil’s signature text. The shoe’s reconstructed look is finished with a woven Nike tongue tag pushed to the side.
