Get ready to hit the basketball courts, Nike and Off-White have revealed a brand new collaborative sneaker! The Nike x Off-White Blazer Low was one of the last pieces designed by Off-White mastermind Virgil Abloh before his unfortunate passing in November.
Coming in two colour combinations: black/green and white/red, the shoe was inspired by basketball, skateboarding and running sneakers and features an exposed foam tongue, vibrant laces fitted in a unique pattern and punched out holes, with both brand’s names and the name of the sneaker itself emblazoned on the side.
The sneaker is being released in accordance with Abloh’s wishes, with a Nike statement reading: “Prior to his passing, Abloh was characteristically prolific. In his planning with Nike, Abloh and his creative trust had developed fully realised product collaborations and uniquely Abloh marketing and storytelling vehicles for seasons to come.” Virgil’s wife Shannon Abloh has also been involved with the release of the collaboration.
The Nike x Off-White Low Blazer will be releasing on April 8 and will be available to buy at both Nike and Off-White stores.
