January 16, 2017 update: Nike x Off-White Vapormax will drop sometime in February. Price is $250.
December 26, 2017 update: Off-White designer commented on a Hypebeast Instagram post and said the image of the white Jordan Reto 1 shoe it posted was a fake.
Read the original story below.
Nike and Off-White will continue to offer collaborative shoes in 2018 by offering some of “The Ten” shoes in new colorways. This post will serve as a permanent space for all information related to coming Nike and Off-White coming launches. Below you will find info on pricing, colors, launch dates, style codes and retailers selling the items.
As an item of note, Nike just today (December 26, 2017) announced its annual retail summit meeting on February 15-18 in Los Angeles, using the black Air Force 1 by Off-White as its official invite. The boxed shoe image (below) is via @james.whitner.
December 27th update: Off-White designer has clarified on Twitter the shoe invite was not designed by him. It’s an interesting correction for two reasons. First off, the concept of the invite takes a page out of Kanye West’s Yeezy invites, which have been printed on items of clothing. This is interesting because Abloh was once West’s creative director and one could fairly conclude he took the idea from West and gave it to Nike. Given he has said the shoe wasn’t designed by him, it speaks to how brands can sometimes overstep the terms of their agreements with designers when it comes to creating product inspired by collaborations. Not saying that’s the case here, but clearly the invite is using some but not all Off-White design elements and Abloh made of point of clarifying the shoe isn’t his.

As you scroll down, you will see there is a description of the shoe, but not always an image. When we do find an image, we will update this post. As of now, there’s no info on where Nike will sell these shoes. For certain, they will be available through Nike retail. In 2017, the shoes were also sold at its top boutique accounts, which are called Tier Zero. You can find a list of those stores here and also in the gallery below.
Given Nike is in the business of making money, it probably will open up distribution of these shoes a bit more and give some pairs to the urban chains and maybe even Foot Locker and The Finish Line. Nike isn’t stupid though and you can be sure it will limit production to ensure rapid sell through rates.
There isn’t any exact launch date info yet though you can count on some of the launches occurring on Air Max Day on March 26, 2018.
