Nike and Off-White in August 2017 announced what would become a game-changing collaborative partnership with the reveal of The Ten, a collection of ten silhouettes: Air Jordan 1, Air Max 90, Air Presto, Air VaporMax, Blazer Mid, Converse Chuck Taylor High, Zoom Fly SP, Air Force 1 Low, React Hyperdunk and Air Max 97.
There have multiple iterations of the original ten since the launch but The Ten story will soon be coming to an end. According to @py-rates, Nike and Off-White’s Air Max 90 silhouette (launching January 17, 2018) will be the final shoe in the series.
Have no fear though, Nike’s efforts with Off-White designer Virgil Alboh will continue. In 2019, the two brands will drop the Track & Field capsule, which will include two new silhouettes: Vapor Street and Waffle Racer, each of which will be offered in three colors.
And while all of the above may be true, as sneaker lovers know there is really no such thing as a shoe that’s truly retired. Even if The Ten are stuck in the vault for years to come, chances are ten years or so from now they may reappear…even in the original colorways.
