“Virgil Abloh?s legacy continues with the Air Force 1 Mid x Off-White “Sheed.” The all-black patent leather upper and fade-away logo pay homage to early-aughts basketball and one of the most influential players of the time: Rasheed Wallace. Sheed’s dedication to the AF1 over the course of his career helped reinvigorate the icon for a new generation, and his name and number appear throughout the design.
Pushing the legendary look through the futurist lens of Off-White, the design taps into nostalgia to celebrate a figure who pushed the game and culture of basketball to new levels. Virgil Abloh’s boundary-pushing ethos delivers a modernized and referential meditation on one of history’s most revered sneakers.”
