It looks like Virgil Abloh's Off-White label is the latest to take inspiration from the Nike Air Force 1. The image of the green suede shoe surfaced on Instagram this morning. It appears the new sleek design features the similar shape and silhouette of the coveted sneaker.
This definitely isn't the first time we've seen a designer use the AF1 for inspiration. Last year, the French luxury brand Céline took cues from the classic shoe, with the release of a calf-skin sneaker featuring a thick mid-sole that was reminiscent of the Air Force 1 Mid. Hender Scheme also played with the silhouette, debuting a luxe black leather high-top sneaker that shared a similar form.
In September, Nike worked with Supreme on a collaboration for the AF1 that sold out in minutes, proving that the demand for the sneaker is in full force, and it doesn't look like it's slowing down anytime soon.
UPDATE: Abloh confirmed via Instagram that these are women's sneakers. The shoe is part of Off-White's Fall/Winter 2015 women's collection.
