In the two years leading to his untimely passing, Virgil Abloh valiantly battled an uncommon and aggressive cancer. Despite this, he not only crafted numerous fashion collections but also forged what might be one of history’s most legendary sneaker partnerships. Even after his passing, Abloh’s indelible mark persists, exemplified by the revelation of a previously unseen colorway of the Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Mid.

This fresh iteration of the beloved Nike Air Force 1 Mid boasts a predominantly white base adorned with a graphic reminiscent of the grim reaper. This eerie design envelops the entire upper and extends to the medial ankle, where the iconic Off-White logo also finds its place. A sleek black Swoosh adorns the outer side, harmonizing with the edgy spiked rubber sole, while vibrant lime green accents punctuate the primary set of laces. Additionally, it’s worth noting that these sneakers come with a white signature hangtag.

Regrettably, only a minuscule two pairs of this Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Mid “Grim Reaper” Sample are rumored to exist, and there are currently no expectations for a public release. Nevertheless, you can relish the intricate photos displayed below, graciously provided by sneakerknockerzllc. Virgil Abloh’s enduring influence reverberates, and his legacy continues to flourish through creations like these.

UPDATE 11/30: Earlier information indicated that the Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Mid “Grim Reaper” was restricted to just two pairs. However, the collaboration has now been made available on off—white.com, suggesting that the sneakers may remain exclusive to Virgil Abloh’s label and might not be released on Nike SNKRS.
