2019
In January 2020, Virgil Abloh grabbed the attention of the sneaker community by wearing a prototype pair of Off White and Nike Air Force 1s at Louis Vuitton's FW20 runway show at Paris Fashion Week.
The design was centered around a blue leather upper, metallic silver Swooshes and white text on the medial quarter. Beyond these familiar elements, the model diverged significantly from its predecessor, the 2019 release of the Off White x Nike MCA Air Force 1s.
Dressed in a predominantly University Blue upper this Nike Air Force 1 07 Virgil QS features a unique lacing system that incorporates standard white laces over the throat and a set of broad blue laces fastened by black anchors, reminiscent of Abloh's 2019 Dunk Lows. The silver Swoosh is framed by a black thread and a black tag, replacing the blue and red accents of the MCA. The heel tab and strip boast white leather, and the midsoles are finished in black with a white "AIR" detail.
Exceptionally rare, this sneaker never saw a general release.
