Of-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low "University Gold"

Virgil Abloh and Nike ‘s Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low "University Gold” collection has largely been shrouded in secrecy since it leaked earlier this year, with its inspiration, exact release date, and official pricing information all still up in the air. However, many styles from the collection’s 50-Dunk lineup have been teased, and now we’ve got our best look yet at style #50 of 50 thanks to sneaker leaker.

#50 interpolates familiar details and colors from Abloh’s past Nike collaborations with some fresh new details. It’s done up in black and equipped with a metallic silver Swoosh a la the Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 “MoMA” from 2018, while also adding the overlaid rope lacing system from past Off-White™ x Nike Dunk Low collaborations and cut-out oval detailing on the tongue that’s borrowed from the Off-White™ x Air Jordan 5.

From a build standpoint, #50 mixes a textile toebox, quarter panel and collar with supple leather mudguards, eyestays, Swooshes and heels. Apart from the aforementioned Swooshes, there’s signature silver text on the lateral quarter and a silver Nike Sportswear hit on the heel. Dashes of purple are introduced into the mix as well, appearing on the midsole’s badge and the delicatley-pinned tag that hangs down from the lateral Swoosh.
