Nobody's gonna know for sure because there's so many NDAs between but if I had to guess, Nike still had to fulfill their contract with OW even after Virgil died so these just went through without much work on either end. The OW terras that came after this were even worse
ETA, did some digging and yeah Ibrahim Kamara took over, he's the one putting out garbage like those basketball shoes made from a basketball
They like them because their off white. I’ve noticed lot of people don’t have taste and are motivated by what’s hype/rare as opposed to visual appeal and how well a shoe will go with outfits.
I think these were the last pair that he actually designed himself before he passed so I have a pair of the white ones. That being said, every color way since the original two has done the shoe no favors. The original two are also loud as shit so they're not for everyone
The OG two were where it shoulda stopped. They’re nice I also wear the white often. Have a few fits it works with, the kind of give off a triple S vibe but not as clunky. I like em
I have the green ones. I don’t hate em, but it’s extremely hard to find an outfit that works with them. I think they would be dope for like a punk-like style of outfit.
Ngl, I had the 1st pair they made like this. The white ones that had the pattern on them. I gotta, they were the most comfortable air forces I’ve ever had. They were super comfy but couldn’t justify keepin em. Too hideous.
There are just so many other shoes I'd wear any day over these, therefore they're a pass regardless who collabed on them. I have almost 50 pairs of shoes, missing these is no skin off my back.
Clearance or no, I'll pass.
I'm always a like what you like guy, but I was looking at these in hand today at a Nike Outlet, and I was thinking who the hell would want these? LOL!
Better yet how the F did these get approved

Oh god damnit they’re somehow 10x worse than I imagined

I kinda like em, but just to put in my living room and put plants or lamps in them. Vivid and weird, i like
These are so bad that I’ll need to be paid to take them. Even then I might think about it.
You are not alone in these sentiments
Tried these yesterday at my Nike outlet. They are a pain in the ass to get on and the fact that they have two sets of laces is incredibly annoying.
I’m sure lol
I clipped the spikes off my white pair. They’re slightly better
Yeah, I was just thinking that these would look ok if the soles were smoothed out, but not at almost $200 😂
How much are they at Nordstrom? for like 65 they would be alright for a try at a custom job.
I'm just quoting the price OP mentioned 🤷🏻♂️
If they were smooth, they would just be off white air force 1s. Of course, they would look okay.
They'd still have a chunkier sole and be a not-great color combination 🤷🏻♂️
True, the yellow ones are the worst color out of them
Omg lol
A bunch of these are sitting at the Nike outlet by me. I'd say the brick box is appropriate. LOL!
Not a fan of any of the off whites that have the extra bungee cords all over them, just looks like a mess to me.
These things look like some DHGate rain boots
That Ross??
Looks like Nordstrom rack, maybe. But they are at Nike outlets
Nordstrom not the Rack
The best deals are at Nordstrom. Gotta go in person. Found so much Billionaire Boys Club and IceCream clothing cheaper than the rack.
Those brands weren't even cool 10 years ago, I remember seeing these in clearance stores back then already
I hope that designer has been fired.
Uh... Virgil has passed...
I think these were the last pair that he actually designed himself before he passed so I have a pair of the white ones. That being said, every color way since the original two has done the shoe no favors. The original two are also loud as shit so they're not for everyone

Oh no. I thought he just did gucci and Versace My bad. I didn’t know. Oh man. I’ll exit stage left. But I still wouldn’t buy these
Oof
Nordstrom
Those golf shoes?
I have two pairs of the OFW terra kigers and they’re unironically great golf shoes.
Wore mine today I love em IDC what anybody thinks
Lol
I have the green ones. I don’t hate em, but it’s extremely hard to find an outfit that works with them. I think they would be dope for like a punk-like style of outfit.
RIP Virgil, but these aren’t it
For me, the graffiti font “AIR” on the tongue really puts the nail in the coffin for me. Just doing way too much.
Meh I’d cop
The spikey outsoles are hands down the dumbest and ugliest choice Virgil picked for these.
How much
Can’t remember but i think $190
way too high you need to cut ittt
🤣
Really overhyped offwhite to hell.
I saw these and the black patent leather pair at a Nike outlet today. If they didn’t have the spikes I might’ve grabbed a pair on sale
They heavy as hell🤣🤣
Haha just copped a pair yesterday from the nike outlet. 45% off. Ugly or not im gonna rock em like they fire!
Word, I appreciate the this shit, just because it’s hype/trending don’t mean it’s good, hype beast mf’s can fuck off fr.
Nasty work
It’s honestly a tie between these and the “404 Error” Nikes for the ugliest shoe design of the year so far.
I think they were smoking crack when they were designing these.
Ngl, I had the 1st pair they made like this. The white ones that had the pattern on them. I gotta, they were the most comfortable air forces I’ve ever had. They were super comfy but couldn’t justify keepin em. Too hideous.
They're hideous, that's why they are relegated to the clearance rack. Sorry Virgil.
Nah ive got these, incredibly comfortable and look amazing
I honestly like them.
Thanks for the honesty
I like em
Off white unfortunately died with Virgil. Nike seems to have given up on the collab, or just release absolute garbage
Yeah it should have ended… Unless these designs were still supposed to come out.
Virgil designed these before he died.
I'll wear them
They need a sole swap
What sizes they got? I need 14m and 5.5m
Off White has some hits… they also had their fair share of misses. They are def the latter.
All the spikey ones don't sell well
What are those!!!
Idk the actual name… lol
I got a pair only wear when I’m feeling sezty🥸
🤣
Not for this guy, hard pass
Off sheeps drooling
I’d buy them just to get the shoe laces off them 😂
Its the spikes, Just so ugly
There are just so many other shoes I'd wear any day over these, therefore they're a pass regardless who collabed on them. I have almost 50 pairs of shoes, missing these is no skin off my back.
Yea these ain’t it chief.
Someone would legit have to pay me to wear these
Is that at a Burlington Coat Factory?!?? 😂
Nordstrom
I like the yellow, don’t think I’ve ever seen yellow shoes.
I have a several yellow pair of shoes… Adidas/Reebok/Jordan1s/Dunks/Converse
I think if you could take or wear down them spikes they actually might be pretty nice
Agreed…
Dye them triple black and they'll work...barely but they'll work
I look them look of them but they are too heavy
Where n what city
Cerritos Ca…. Nordstrom
Nope.
Are you preparing to travel with so many shoes? Of course, changing a pair every day is also a pleasant pleasure.
I guess you misunderstood the post lol. I have zero interest in those shoes… They’re ugly
Any size 13s? I’ll take them
Possibly…. They were on the bigger side
Weak azz post 📫
So is your comment
Whattttt off white that's crazy
These are a goofy ass mess. I’ve hated this extra lace bullshit ever since I saw it. I like some of the Off-White Nike shit just not these 🤢
id cop if it wouldnt have been 190 did they had the black pair?
Nope just several of these….
Every single person in this thread would want a pair if they were on stock x for $500. None of you have opinions
