With Nike’s artificial “Air Max Month” quickly coming to an end, there are still a few anticipated sneaker releases coming. One of the biggest, most anticipated drops (aside from the highly coveted Sean Wotherspoon’s Air Max 97/1 hybrids) is the release of two new colourways of the Virgil Abloh OFF-WHITE x Nike Air VaporMax in Black and white. The shoe is essentially the same as the previous release, which dropped later last year, with an all-black flyknit upper with synthetic and suede overlays across the eyelets, contrasting white writing are applied on the sides, followed by an orange tab embroidered on the swooshes, “AIR” on the heels, branded insoles, and a clear VaporMax sole to complete the design altogether. The sneaker differs from the original Off-White VaporMax in a few ways, with the Swoosh, which was white on the first drop, is now black, as well as the once stark black Air bubble now coming in icy blue version. Both pairs, new and old come with the sometimes annoying yet totally unmistakable Off-White orange pull tab and literal air quotes printed on the heel.
