This month, the athletic giant has launched its latest shoe drop with the late Virgil Abloh’s fashion brand. The duo’s resulting release, the Air Force 1 Mid Varsity Maize c/o Off-White, features the signature $205 style’s mid-top uppers with rounded toes — complete with a two-toned palette of stark white and golden yellow, inspired by Air Force 1’s retro roots in the I-95 corridor.

The pair, notably made to celebrate 40 years of Nike’s Air Force 1 sneaker, include a paneled leather silhouette with woven front laces and perforated toes. However, this style has been overlaid with crossed Flywire cords and hook-and-loop ankle straps for a customized fit with a utilitarian edge.

The style is complete with stitched detailing around its staple Nike Swoosh logos, as well as Off-White’s reaper emblem embroidered on each heel.
The shoe’s additional accents include Off-White’s signature black printed lettering on its interior sides, as well as a zip-tied tag that’s become a signature of the collaboration. The pair’s final edge comes from its rubber base — curvy white midsoles and spiked outsoles, finishing the set with a sharp flair.
Previously, Air Force 1 released several collaborative Off-White shoes this year — including the Mid Varsity in pine green, black and graffiti-accented colorways, as well as multiple hues of the Air Force 1 Low sneakers.
Air Force 1’s Mid Varsity Maize c/o Off-White sneakers are now available at Off-White stores and Farfetch, as well as various retailers.
