Virgil Abloh, an architect turned designer from Illinois, passed away in November 2021 due to cancer. The late and great designer completely turned his fate around as he achieved great success in the fashion industry in less than 20 years of his career. The fashion designer started his journey as a personal stylist for the multi-hyphenate Kanye West.

He went on to achieve new heights of success in the fashion industry as he opened his own label, Off-White, as well as becoming a creative director at one of the most luxurious labels in the world, Louis Vuitton.

Official images haven't been revealed by the label yet; however, according to the mockup presented by @glitchedgarbage, the upper of the shoe comes dressed in a desert tan hue almost monochromatically. The shoe mostly features familiar details from past Off-White and Nike Air Force 1 models.

Branding details such as the iconic "AIR" branding upon midsoles and the "SHOELACES" lettering upon the lacelets are kept similar. The most prominent feature, however, remains the addition of the signature ziptie to the sneaker model.
