Bonjour Paris! Pardon our French, we’re kinda out of practice. However, we’re all about to take a stroll down the Champs Élysées with the grey Off White Air Force 1. So let’s take a look at the upcoming kicks and what we know about them so far. You see, these babies are gonna be a follow-up to collabs we already love and value so much. Now, enough with the introductions and let’s get down to business! And just in case that’s not your jam, Bad Bunny’s Adidas Campus is coming soon.
Who Said Sneakers Can’t Be Art?
Let’s start at the beginning of it all, with Virgil Abloh, a designer who became a streetwear icon and crossed many boundaries! We’re not gonna get into the whole history of his sneaker collabs because it’s long. And you can check it out here, so you get it. However, we’re gonna take a look at the list of collaborative Off-White Air Force 1s. Each colorway was an event exclusive, with most being in relation to Abloh’s Figures of Speech exhibition.
In chronological order:
White Off White Air Force 1 (2017 – ComplexCon) – Avg. Resale: $5,950
Black Off White Air Force 1 (2018 – MoMA) – Avg. Resale: $13,225
Blue Off White Air Force 1 (2019 – MCA) – Avg. Resale: $2,267
Yellow Off White Air Force 1 (2021 – ICA) – Avg. Resale: $1,604
Green Off White Air Force 1 (2022 – Brooklyn) – Avg. Resale: $1,644
The Grey Off White Air Force 1 Is Just What We Need!
Although this lineup already dropped, the new grey Off White Air Force 1 is the perfect continuation for it! In fact, all the details we love about the previous colorways are staying with only one difference. The kicks will feature the same deconstructed style but in grey leather this time! Meanwhile, the zip-tie, text in quotation marks, and the silver swoosh are ever-present. So all in all, the kicks are as awesome as usual.
Release Info
Although we don’t know much about the exact time of release, we know that the pair will be Paris-exclusive. Who knows? Maybe the exhibition will take place in Paris later in 2023. And if the previous releases are any giveaways, the kicks will retail for $160. Now that’s a really low price to pay for kicks that are most likely gonna be worth 10x the original retail price.
Now, if you wanna cop these babies, then you’ll probably have to be physically present in Paris. However, if we’re lucky, we might get a Nike SNKRS drop after the physical drop, just like the Brooklyn colorway. In the meantime, you should start looking for a good Nike bot to start copping the hottest drops. Or, you can get your NSB copy today, because NSB3 is bringing with it a Nike SNKRS module and much more! And it’s always a great idea to get some practice in before the real deal. That’s exactly why you should check out this easy botting guide! Godspeed
