His debuting vision including deconstructed takes on Nike classics; Air Jordan 1, Nike Blazer, Nike Air Presto, and Nike Air VaporMax, all featuring alongside the Off-White Air Max 90 OG in this showcase. The premise for these designs was to take classic Nike silhouettes to new and exciting places, and nothing can be more iconic than the Air Max 90 as a canvas to build on. The Off-White Air Max 90 OG pays homage to the original, respecting the iconic silhouettes integrity as a classic, with the words ‘Beaverton, Oregon USA’ and ‘1990′ printed on the shoe’s exterior as a nod to the roots of this modern monolith. Combining a white leather upper with ice blue foam and grey suede overlays creating a very modern colourway for this shoes newest evolution. What Virgil has ushered in with these shoes is nothing short of a masterpiece. Breathing new life into some of the world’s most recognisable styles. The Air Max 90 is arguably the most iconic of the lot, and this reimagining is fitting of its stature. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, this release is sure to be one of the hottest of the year, and will definitely remind us all of why we used to queue round the corner and out the door for Air Max 90’s of the past, and now of the present.
