In the midst of being quarantined due to the coronavirus outbreak, Virgil Abloh took to Twitter today to interact with his followers by exploring a future sneaker project between himself and Nike.

The initial tweet by the Off-White designer read: "There’s a blank sheet of paper in front of me. What Nike zone should I do next?" It sparked an immediate dialogue on the social media platform, with replies to fans circling back to the suggestion of collaborating on more under-the-radar models from the Swoosh including the Ndestrukt and the Air Rift.

Abloh teased that he could be re-imagining additional Nike silhouettes in the future, similar to what has already released as part of the coveted Off-White x Nike "The Ten" collection, and more recent Air Jordan V collaboration. He also confirmed that his designing an original shoe has been in the works. Specifics regarding that project were not revealed.
