Off-White™ & Nike's Newest Drop Is Its Best In Years
Off-White™ and Nike are back at it again, this time delivering a collection that's easily one of their best collaborative efforts in a while. Let's take a look, shall we?
Following Off-White™ and Nike's grim (reaper) Air Force 1 Mid, the collab-centric duo revisits the Terra Forma sneakers for two new colorways, Matte Olive and Mantra Orange.
Like the previous take, their collaborative Terra Forma shoe — unbelievably, the only Virgil Abloh-designed Nike silhouette that was ever properly released — maintains its suede panels, marked with a stitched translucent Swoosh, graffiti-style artwork, and colorful splashes here and there. The Nike shoe's signature spiked Air sole preserves the typically Off-White™ "TREAD" and "LIGHTLY" messages underneath each foot, too.
Fans can also count on a fresh batch of apparel to accompany the sneakers. And I must say: the clothes look exceptionally good. Maybe even better than the shoes.
Off-White™ and Nike's latest apparel offering includes a technical anorak, track jacket, track pants, tights, and long-sleeve and short-sleeve tops, each rendered in either black or green. In addition to their unbothered color options, the collaborative clothing pieces are topped with very subtle collaborative branding and graphics, making for overall clean stuff that's as strong or maybe even stronger than anything that Off-White™ and Nike have served up in years.
Off-White™ and Nike also bring back their soccer jersey in the collection's new green colorway, reviving the original design down to the "YYYYY 2K" print on the shirt's back.
The chunky Off-White™ x Nike Terra Forma shoes are as cool as they were in 2022 when the first round dropped. But this latest round of apparel is certainly a treat, maybe even more than the sneakers at the heart of the collab, and fans agree.
Not that the reactions to the other recent Off-White™ Nike sneakers was negative, per se, more that the response to the new shoes and sneakers is just exceptionally excellent.
One social media user's reaction: "Need of all this." Say no more!
For those also in "need" of the latest Off-White™ x Nike drop, the collaborative Terra Forma sneaker and accompanying apparel all arrives on December 21 via Nike's SNKRS app. Fans can also expect a wider drop at select retailers. About time that a collection this good got the wide rollout it deserved.
