Lewis Hamilton is one of Formula 1's most decorated drivers, with seven World Driver’s Championships and over 100 wins. An ambassador to the sport, beyond the racing circuit, Hamilton extends his influence by breaking new ground in culture, seamlessly connecting the realms of creativity and leveraging his record-breaking global fanbase. Whether collaborating on a helmet design with Hajime Sorayama for the Suzuka Grand Prix or unveiling clothing collections for his +44 brand with Murakami, Hamilton actively democratizes art, ensuring its accessibility to a diverse audience. 


Intertwined in the high fashion space, Hamilton also naturally crossed paths with designer Virgil Abloh, and the two shared a friendship, often expressing their admiration for one another publicly.  


Offered in this lot is a pair of Lewis Hamilton Worn Off-White ‘Out Of Office’ sneakers. Notably, Virgil's signature is featured on the midsole of the right shoe, while the left shoe bears the inscription "Lewis," a display of appreciation that Virgil was known for. 


These shoes have been photo-matched to a photo printed in the US edition of The Sun from June 14, 2022. This photo was taken from Hamilton's Instagram story. The article in The Sun talks about Hamilton's latest tribute to honor the memory of his friend Virgil Abloh by showing off these sneakers which have the word "VIRGIL" on the side along ©2020 inscribed.


The sneakers are accompanied by a photomatch letter from The MeiGray Group and a letter from James Spence Authentication in regards to the signature.
