THE 10 : NIKE ZOOM FLY “Off-White”

The Off-White x Nike Zoom Fly was included in 2017’s “The 10” collection imagined by designer Virgil Abloh and ranks as one of the collaboration’s strongest designs. Abloh, who almost single-handedly altered the footwear landscape with his pioneering DIY-themed collection, choose to apply a less is more aesthetic to the sleek Zoom Fly sneaker. The upper is composed of a translucent Flyknit material with an inner cage lining the model that provides a snug and supportive fit. A white tonal stitched Swoosh branding hit covers the mid-panel with a vibrant orange hang tab contrasting the look. Abloh takes his reconstruction a step further by relocating the Nike branded tongue tab from the top of the tongue to the side and adds his now-signature bold red hang tab from the laces as well as his “Off-White/Nike” branding to the medial side of the design. Putting the finishing touches on this lightweight lifestyle silhouette is a cream colored cushy foam sole with “FOAM” in black lettering appearing on the midsole. The Off-White x Nike Zoom Fly was released on November 2nd, 2017.
