The much-anticipated release of OFF-White x Air Jordan 4 SP ‘Sail’ WMNS has set the community on high, with its beautiful Sail, Muslin, White and Black colourway. Released as a ‘Ladies First’ access, the cream-coloured, simple-and-clean sneaker was first previewed at the ‘Figure of Speech’ exhibit back in 2019.
Since then, sneakerheads have been waiting for the drop. With so much hype around this hottest release, in just a few days the Sail has a resale value ranging from $700-800 USD. While this is relatively tame compared to other OFF-White x Nike collabs, we take this chance to reflect back on some other affordable, popular OFF-White x Nike sneakers that came out in the last few years.
OFF-WHITE x Nike Dunk Low ‘Michigan’
The OFF-WHITE x Nike Dunk Low ‘Michigan’, also called the ‘University Gold’ is part of the three exclusive colourways of Virgil Abloh’s OFF-WHITE x Nike Dunk Low collaboration. As a take on the classic colourways, Abloh layers the sneaker with a Navy Blue leather outsole, that runs along the rest of the sneaker. The white midsole gives a nice added touch, whereas the neon orange cord laces blend beautifully with the bright yellow panels along the toe, eyelets and heel.
OFF-WHITE x Nike Dunk Low ‘University Red’
The OFF-WHITE x Nike Dunk Low ‘University Red’ is a part of the highly popular OFF-WHITE x Nike Dunk Low collaborations that were released in 2019. The silhouette is a mix of University Red and Grey colourway, with the same neon orange lace that can be seen on the counterpart, ‘Pine Green’ as well. The left foot of the sneaker, along with many other OFF-WHITE x Nike collabs come with the translucent, zip-tie tagged along to the laces. As expected from typical Abloh’s style, the sneaker consists of the ‘OFF-WHITE for Nike’ signature print on the inner midsole.
OFF-WHITE x Nike Dunk Low ‘Pine Green’
The OFF-WHITE x Nike Dunk Low ‘Pine Green’ is one out of three sneakers that were released together as part of Virgil Abloh’s OFF-WHITE x Nike Dunk Low collaboration. Serving as the designer’s approach to the ‘Pine Green’ colourway, the sneaker has a mix of green and white leather across the upper, with the distinct neon orange cord laces running through the shoe. All across the shoe, you can see OFF-WHITE branding, from the small little orange tag to the industrial text printed along the inner.
OFF-WHITE x Air Max 90 ‘Black’
The OFF-WHITE x Nike Air Max 90 ‘Black’ is another OFF-WHITE x Nike collaboration. The shoe was is part of ‘The Ten’ collection and is arguably one of the best collabs of 2019. With a beautiful clean Black-White colourway, with the distinct OFF-WHITE mini orange label hanging at the ankle rim, the sneaker is constructed of leather, suede, and mesh. The sneaker also has an Air bubble for great comfort, and is as chic, slick and clean as sneakers get.
OFF-WHITE x Air Jordan 5 Retro SP ‘Muslin’
The OFF-WHITE x Air Jordan 5 Retro SP ‘Muslin’ is Virgil Abloh’s take on the silhouette, with a faded black textile aesthetic. The upper has a slick reflective silver detailing right along the tongue, wrapped in a Black/Fire Red/Muslin colourway. The outsole has a touch of yellow, with the heel counter displaying the number 23 (Michael Jordan’s jersey number) on the side.
