NIKE, NIKE AIR FORCE 1 LOW, SIZE 8.5 

Rubber, Leather, Cotton, Synthetic

2017

Initially released exclusively at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Off-White MoMA is one of the most highly coveted works by Virgil Abloh. While the colorway is simple, the eye-catching design is signature to the designer’s aesthetic. Featuring a chrome Swoosh, exposed foam lining, zip tie, and Abloh’s signature quotation marks, the MoMA AF1 can be considered somewhat of a blueprint for other Off-White x Nike museum exclusives.  


The Air Force 1, arguably Nike’s most iconic sneaker, is, in many regards, the first of its kind. Previously realized in running shoes, the introduction of Nike’s ‘Air’ technology in the midsole was a revolutionary concept for basketball sneakers. Tasked with bringing the concept to life, designer Bruce Kilgore and an Aerospace engineer brought the project to fruition with a hiking boot-inspired, ankle-strapped, high-top. Kilgore’s first basketball sneaker, the Air Force 1, was brought to market in 1982.
