The Nike Air Force 1 Mid SP Off White Varsity Maize represents a collaboration between Nike and Virgil Abloh’s fashion house Off-White. This sneaker takes an iconic silhouette and a retro colorway and infuses it with hallmark Off-White creativity. The Off White X Nike Air Force 1 Mid-Top Varsity Maize SP sports an upper with a base of tumbled white leather and perforations in the toe box. The overlays and ankle strap are maize-colored tumbled leather, while the side-panel Nike swoosh is white tumbled leather. The laces are maize and an extra pair of white laces threads through fly cables on the upper. The white foam midsole houses visible Air and sits atop a maize rubber outsole where the classic AF1 traction pattern has been enhanced with track spikes. What we love most about this creative shoe is the Off-White branding. Characteristic Off-White text appears on the medial upper while a white grim reaper graphic is embroidered on the lateral heel. The Nike Air Force 1 Mid SP Off White Varsity Maze was released on November 9, 2023, for a retail price of $205. The Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Mid SP Leather ‘Varsity Maize’ updates the classic silhouette with a retooled build, highlighted by a wavy midsole with visible Air-sole cushioning and a rubber spiked outsole. A two-tone leather upper in white and yellow is secured with traditional lace closure, along with a supplemental lacing system that loops through exposed Flywire cables. In addition to a white leather Swoosh outlined in tonal zigzag stitching, branding elements include Off-White text on the medial side panel and a grim reaper graphic embroidered on the lateral heel.
