FRESH KICKS: VIRGIL ABLOH

COMME des GARÇONS’ Seoul outpost recently launched an exclusive pop-up for the Virgil Abloh x Nike “THE TEN” collection. To further celebrate the partnership, South Korean toy artist Coolrain Lee has created limited edition figures of the rockstar designer alongside a miniature Air Jordan 1 sneaker from the collaboration. The Abloh collectible is clad in Off-White™ garments while brandishing a colorful set of permanent markers. The AJ1, on the other hand, is an exact vinyl replica of the coveted shoe in red and white.
Check out the limited edition figures above and then visit Coolrain Lee’s official website to view more projects.

If you missed out on the Off-White™ x Nike “The Ten” releases, you’ll get a second chance at copping Virgil Abloh‘s Air Jordan 1 rework — in a brand new white colorway. Lately, rumors have been spreading online regarding the white AJ1’s existence, and now we have an on-feet photo to confirm the speculation.
Apparently slated to drop in 2018, this never-before-seen Off-White™ x Nike Air Jordan 1 features Virgil Abloh’s signature deconstructed design in a clean white and gray color scheme — rather than the original’s “Chicago” look.
No word yet on the confirmed release date, but the price tag is reported to be set at $190 USD.

Following a botched initial online draw release, Nike recently revealed the official SNKRS release schedule for its upcoming Virgil Abloh x Nike “The Ten” collection drop.
Nike’s original release plan faced technical issues caused by overwhelming demand for “The Ten” collection, thus forcing the company to cancel its online draw for the shoes. In an effort to maintain fairness in its release, Nike has opted to release the Virgil Abloh x Nike “The Ten” collection via SNKRS with a staggered time release schedule.
Take a look at Nike’s official release time schedule for the entire Virgil Abloh x Nike “The Ten” collection below and head over to SNKRS for your chance to get your hands on the shoes.
For more Nike news, the sneaker giant recently launched its new NikePlus Unlocks membership which offers exclusive access to upcoming releases.
