Air Force 1 Low Volt x Off-White

Description

December 2018s release of the Off-White x Air Force 1 Low Volt is as in your face as its sibling the Low Black is understated. Veering away from the established orthodoxy of Virgil Abloh’s Nike playbook, the Volt trades the usual monochromatic whites greys and blacks that are scattered throughout the Off-White portfolio for something all that more exaggerated. Maximising a neon yellow hue straight from one of Nike’s signature colour palettes of which Virgil has not utilised previously, this shoe is by far the most colourful Off-White to date. The Volt carries Abloh’s signature aesthetic, with the upper featuring a combination of synthetic ripstop material/canvas, and the seams of each panel presenting a raised design to call attention to the source materials iconic construction. The Volt is a shoe for the exhibitionists, a brash reimagining of a much-celebrated silhouette, undeniably impressive, and impossible to ignore.
