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.

Made in collaboration with Virgil Abloh’s luxury streetwear brand, the OFF-WHITE x women’s Air Jordan 4 SP ‘Sail’ delivers a subdued take on the classic silhouette. The deconstructed leather build is rendered in a monochromatic off-white finish, complete with semi-translucent TPU detailing on the molded eyelets, structural ‘wings’ and Nike Air-branded heel panel. Abloh’s signature flourishes include a tonal zip tie and ‘AIR’ printed above the visible Air sole unit.

The Off-White x Blazer Studio Mid ‘Queen’ was designed by Virgil Abloh as part of a larger collection celebrating Serena Williams’ appearance at the 2018 U.S. Open. The mid-top sports a Wolf Grey upper built with a combination of leather, suede and translucent textile, accented with an oversized Swoosh in black. The rubber midsole features gradient coloring that transitions from pink to purple to grey.

The Off-White x Zoom Fly SP ‘Black’ features a deconstructed take on the performance runner. Highlighted by an unlined translucent upper with Virgil Abloh’s signature text on the shoe’s medial side, the shoe also sports exposed stitch detailing, most noticeably on the white Swoosh. A black Lunarlon midsole, embedded with a carbon-infused nylon plate, features ‘FOAM’ printed on the lateral side.

Virgil Abloh presents a relatively straightforward take on Bruce Kilgore’s design with this Off-White x Air Force 1 Low. That isn’t to suggest there aren’t unique details on the reconstructed build: in addition to a mix of ripstop and suede, the upper features taped seams and a white Swoosh attached via zigzag stitching. Exposed foam and misplaced tags appear on the tongue, while ‘LOGO’ inscribed on the heel tab delivers a final meta flourish.
