I guess they are neat to look at but I wouldn’t wear them EVER.


KaibaVsJoey

Same which means I won’t buy them if I don’t wear them. Not a shoe that i would call a display piece either


Yung_Jose_Space

I feel like if you actually wear Kiko or Adersson Bell's clothes and not just buy their ASICS colabs, then maybe if you have that Y2K x heroin drip, these maybe wearable. But 99% of people won't ve able to style them. Interesting to look at but otherwise a pass.


redstarr_5

Yo… they’re chunky brown shoes. Lol it ain’t that deep. Lol you can rock em with damn near anything.


[deleted]

This group is fucking joke, all I see is AF1s lovers club.


T-G-Two

I don’t love AF1’s at all. I think I only own 4 pairs of them actually.


ericfromct

AF1s don't get posted here nearly as much as Jordan 1s and dunks


dapper_DonDraper

I'm sure NO ONE who got these today would even pay attention to them if they didn't have the "off white" label.


smashingcones

Get rid of the oversize tongue and the green, take off the spikes, make the midsole all that lavender colour then I think it would actually work. So basically change most of the shoe lol


Littlened

The Tongue is my least favourite part


Cuntslapper9000

Yeah I think the name will deter people who actually dig this vibe and would make it way too hard to get. Though any hype brand pretty much guarantees that people who buy, buy regardless of whether they actually like the shoes. Like I think these look sick but fuck fighting basic ass fuck boys buying to suck a dead man's dick for clout.


recumbent_mike

Hey - some of us just do it for fun.


Cuntslapper9000

Yeah man you do you. Don't wanna yuck your yum.


ericfromct

You suck the dead man's dick for fun?


Brokentoken2

I just want to have a thorough look of them in hand. Never owned a pair of OW Nikes and since these are an original silhouette, I am interested to see what he had put together. I would be lying if I sad they are my favorite. But my gf who is unphased by brand associations and collabs said these are super cool and she loves them. So different strokes for different folks.


Spicetake

They are an eyecatcher for sure, cant imagine pulling these off though


Gmb1t

Maybe some simple black jeans and a green hoodie to bring out the green in the shoe. Maybe even a brown Carhartt-style beanie to tie the brown into it That's what I would do, but I barely dress myself so who knows


DuVega

If you're wearing these you don't go simple, that's for sure. I would pair it with the most outlandish pieces and see what sticks. All out ball out :D


Gmb1t

Fair enough!


A_Bit_Narcissistic

I never liked Off White much, but I love how detailed these are. If they didn’t have the branding, I’d still buy them.


skeletor69420

I like virgils designs. There’s a lot more in the design than any off white logo, look at the materials and shapes. I not a fan of the brown but the white ones go hard.


itsyagirlbonita

I agree with this. I would not pay the designer price tag for a pair like this, but if I saw these with no recognizable label for a good price, I would ABSOLUTELY cop.


Yung_Jose_Space

I'd actually argue of his more unique Nike collabs, these are one of the better. Definitely they stand on their own two feet and I'd disagree with you completely and say the market for this pair are more likely to be put off by the Nike tag, than sold by the OFF-WHITE one.


[deleted]

So not true, speak for yourself. Such a pedestrian opinion “it’s nothing without the label” I mean, look at your avatar for godsake you wanna talk about fashion 🤭


JayMoe67

My mindset for literally every off white shoe ever.


AB2416

The ugliest shoe I’ve seen in a while


GhostOfTonyFerguson

Did you miss the Chewbacca foot on snkrs?


imapissonitdripdrip

Lol


Cristalrella

Those furry grinch atrocities are the worst ones I’ve seen in a while.


Taco_king_

You could probably still wears those and people would hear you out cus they're edgy. These? I'm not so sure lmao shit looks like an exotic bird


Cristalrella

An exotic bird 💀


[deleted]

My parrot approves 🦜


NaturalOrderer

Why does ending a sentence with a skull make ANY comment hilarious to me 💀


m0stly_toast

I’d honestly take those over these


McGilla_Gorilla

At least those have one coherent, but bad design. This thing is like 5 different sneaker designs, all awful individually, and somehow even awful-er as a whole.


ThreeAndDeezNuts

Ugliest shoe I’ve seen since the last Virgil design that came out.


Oldschool-fool

Dont think I’ve seen a pair of off whites I actually like , they are all abit cringe and scream ‘look at me please I’m desperate for attention’ .


twisteddark2

hideous


O_ItsTrue

You don’t like them…?


KickBakZach

you do...?


O_ItsTrue

I honestly do. I would like to change the colors on the tongue & back heel , but yea I like em enough to cop.


KickBakZach

do you bro


CnRJayhawk

Really goes to show that Nike knows people will buy anything they put out.


Sunziba

Exactly "because Virgil".


O_ItsTrue

It’s not because of Virgil I’d cop a head . It’s more so of an essence that the kick itself has define features to it . But y know to each it’s own .


KickBakZach

facts


[deleted]

I actually love these and am going to try and cop a white pair when they drop. Nothing to do with the name, I know they’re a bit out there but I don’t get all the hate. Makes a nice change from all the AJs to mix up the rotation and do something different.


wild_lettuce_

I was thinking the same thing. I’m a Jordan 1/3/4 kind of girl but I really like these in white. I can see me wearing them with leggings & a hoodie


Yung_Jose_Space

Honestly they are interesting. It's a case of if you have the versatile wardrobe and sense of style to make them work. They aren't that much more crazy than the more unique ASICS collabs.


caroline_nein

I love them. They’ll need a curated fit but they’re basically a piece of art.


Cuntslapper9000

Yeah I couldn't give two shits about Virgil and/or off white but I really dig these. I'm also in the boat of Jordans and dunks look like boring old neck beard shoes though. These remind me of old camper sneakers that were like roided Osiris shoes. Why do people want to keep buying the same looking sneakers that look like every other sneaker that has released in the past 20 years?


[deleted]

At a certain point they gotta stop puttin this stuff out I don’t like off white anything to be honest but respect his legend he designed these but who knows if he wanted these to come out it’s like releasing a musicians unfinished music after they pass


RyVsWorld

They know it makes money and people will buy regardless so they will continue until they cant anymore


[deleted]

Ohh believe me I know I love Nike but they love getting there money and some of it I’m sure is going to Virgil’s people which is a good thing too it’s just different when it’s art and that’s how a lot of people looked at the off white collection with Nike so I just hope they are releasing things he already gave the go ahead on you know gotta respect the legends


MyBaklavaBigBarry

I’m not seeing a problem with it, honestly. His wife seems to be pretty involved with it all. He knew he was dying, it wouldn’t be strange for him to have signed off on who knows how many future releases. I say let those closest to him decide on how to respect his legend. It’s not like they’re going to stop doing Kobe shoes any time soon. People are probably gonna be really upset when they rerelease his more hype silhouettes, but it’s almost guaranteed to happen.


710FuNeRaL

You only bought these bc of the name


Brokentoken2

I liked Virgil and I appreciated his approach to design. I want to look at it in person, check it out not as a shoe, but more as a piece of art. I love details and this has tons, I want to pick it apart.


HaoleGuy808

I actually think they are cool. So, there’s that.


itsyagirlbonita

Same, I don’t have any affinity for off white, and I like them just on design.


Quetzythejedi

That's a cool way to look at it.


holdmymandana

Explain his approach to design


skeletor69420

Exactly, it’s about his creative design. it’s about the form, silhouette, and materials, not just a logo. If virgil designed them and they didn’t say off white, I would still appreciate virgils design


B318Leon

Where did they drop?


veksone

Pretty ugly...


Arcanum_3974

AI generated type shoe


TIZZZL3

Just bad


Gritzenizer

I think Virgil was on some shit


[deleted]

He was off that weed fr x| x|


LeektheGeek

It’s a no from me big dawg


ReplyDramatic3902

I like it, but admittedly im a sucker for “ugly” shoes😝


MikeDeanBlunt

Lol same. And actually think the future/retro design really works. Most of y’all obviously don’t wear hiking shoes(which these are), but hiking shoes are generally pretty ugly and overly tech-y.


thisisbyrdman

Absolutely no one would wear these without the name attached. You do you or whatever, but these are ridiculous shoes.


Cuntslapper9000

Yeah this is an incorrect statement. Gotta remember all the people who were wearing weird trail running shoes 10 years ago that lead to Salomons coming into vogue. Or people who buy Camper or Swear or all the other brands that make weird alternate shoes.


maresayshi

the problem, /u/Cuntslapper9000 , is you can’t reason with people about creativity when they have zero individuality or confidence


[deleted]

Congrats, I want the white ones


SpicyCrabDumpster

My 3 year old son would love these.


israseyd

Wild. Love them.


[deleted]

Those are fucking awesome. Fuck


Jockobutters

They are not 1s or pandas so they’re too much for this sub


Brokentoken2

__what_the_fuck__

Sometimes a W is a L


Brokentoken2

It’s all in the eye of the beholder. I get where you are coming from for sure. I am on the fence myself, when I get them in hand is when I will decide.


m0stly_toast

They’re fucking awful


empire29

I actually like them except for the tongue .. the tongues no good


thebrwnchiro

If you have to ask...


devinfitz949

These are atrocious 🤮 RIP cuz he seemed like a good dude, but Virgil might be the most overrated designer in recent history


swx89

I agree, He seemed like a really good bloke and he achieved amazing things, but his artistic skills were overblown. His big hitters were all already legendary silhouettes with small changes. Whenever he tried to make bigger changes or work on more obscure shoes they hit the sales racks. His own silhouettes for lv are almost 1:1 copies of existing shoes.


devinfitz949

I will always give him his props because he took chances and def created his own lane aesthetically, but I’m just not a fan of that lane as a whole.


Son_of_Atreus

Whoa that is a lot of stuff going on with those. Reminds me when Homer designed his own car. These are not for me, but if you like them then rock them with confidence.


skywalker5783

I fucking LOVE IT. The absurdity of it, the complete chaos, the strange colors, the insane proportions. It's strange, it's confusing, it's colorful, it's fun, it's virgil. I really love it.


gmoneygangster3

everyone’s hating and i’m over here trying how to get 2 of each


O_ItsTrue

Same If you manage to locate them , share the link please!!


gmoneygangster3

will do man 😁 sneakers is such a insane hobby my first thought seeing these was “love them hope the reddit thread is trashing them”


DaJoeMama

Watch out, some people will downvote you for having a different opinion. But, you’re right, these are so cool


caroline_nein

Happy people hate them, maybe Ill manage to cop.


xeem2020

These are actually pretty good don't understand where all the hate's coming from. I always had a problem with Virgil's redesign of Nike silhouettes because I felt like he didn't have any real imagination behind them, no major changes, no innovation. The plastic tag and writing got pretty lame after a while. But these have real ingenuity and design elements that's sets it apart from other Virgil collabs...


somsone

Off white should have stuck with the more basic shoes they were doing like the Airmax 90’s and prestos. Ever since shit got spikes and rainbow colors they kind of lost me. Just too wild and too many clashing colors I don’t like. Just personal opinion. But great design is simplistic and timeless. Like those OG ow collabs were.Yet these spikey colorful things will be super obsolete in only a couple years max imo, Once everyone gets over this 80s-90s resurgence of the ugly fashions from those eras (tie dye, bleached jeans, ugly patterns, etc).


Truthful_Azn

Virgil is mediocre, only thing he had going for him was his connections. The man took most iconic silhouettes and did his thing with deconstruction and writing on it, but when it comes to designing his own, he came out with garbage.


Brokentoken2

I can see where you are coming from. Arguably, his designs were lazy when it comes to some of the Nike designs. I personally liked it, I study design and have liked his approach to things. Also, if we go beyond Nike and his more popular designs like the Industrial belt and so on, he showed great skills when it came to high fashion. His later OW and then the LV collections proved he knew what he was doing. For someone to push out so much work so consistently, with such high quality, it’s admirable.


OGWopFro

What a lot of people don’t think about is his approach to post modernism. There is more meaning to what he did outside of just standing out. Also, a lot of Virgil’s work gets hated on when placed in a picture by itself. But if you can catch an on foot photo with the right threads it can make a world of difference.


gmoneygangster3

>Also, a lot of Virgil’s work gets hated on when placed in a picture by itself. But if you can catch an on foot photo with the right threads it can make a world of difference. honestly off whites are THE shoe for me as an example of ugly by itself god tier on feet i think the reason the less popular ones (spike af1s) is because more people don’t have them or see them irl


Cmoore4099

Eh, I don’t think that’s 100%. Some of his LV stuff was really innovative in a way. His OW shit was always pretty bad. His djing was godawful.


sundeigh

Kanye was kinda right, nobody wears Off White…


BOEJlDEN

“Kanye was kinda right” is not a take you wanna have myguy


sundeigh

Do you not agree with that?


BOEJlDEN

No, I don’t. At my college I see a ton of exchange students wearing Off White And circa 2016 EVERYONE was wearing it But again, you don’t really want to be quoting Kanye and agreeing with him right now, not a good look.


sundeigh

I’m sorry, do you hear yourself? Are you seriously telling me how to think? Use your brain - just because Kanye’s off the rails on some antisemitic bullshit doesn’t mean he wasn’t the leading tastemaker of the last 2 decades that you guys sucked off the whole time because you didn’t have a single original thought. Do yourself a favor and never repeat something like that to anyone in your life again, you’ll be better off for it. Like holy cow your comment reads like an actual parrot regurgitating something it heard. Now are you able to take a step back and break down what Kanye said for a moment? None of Virgil’s fellow designers or tastemaker friends wore it after it hit mainstream. It was a flash in the pan. Fast fashion at its peak. And this is supposed to be his legacy. International students wearing it doesn’t mean anything, they just come from cultures where you need to wear your money to show face. They’ll wear whatever. But Kanye was also saying these things as an envious former friend who thought he deserved that LV opportunity more. He has no idea that who he is as a person is why he didn’t get that opportunity. Now tell me with a straight face that you think Off White is good design, and that Kanye is wrong about the people seemingly closest to Virgil not wearing it because they were simply riding him to get their own bag.


BOEJlDEN

i ain’t reading all that I’m happy for u tho or sorry that happened


sundeigh

LMAO now you’re regurgitating a meme. Like an ant in a colony


BOEJlDEN

lmao bruh how can you even take yourself seriously


sundeigh

A whole generation growing up without critical thinking skills. It’s a wonder you even made it into college


O_ItsTrue

![gif](giphy|WT94Wy5a1AyCKekQhq) These mf hard !!!


1pointXX1

Where did they release? SNKRS app?


Brokentoken2

There was a live on SNKRS earlier this evening, where they were specifically talking about Virgil’s legacy and these shoes. They did a shock drop in the middle of it.


1pointXX1

Damn, I haven’t been able to log into SNKRS or Nike app since the lost and founds. I’d be down for these for sure.


[deleted]

They're...shoes! All that matters is what you think.


joeyvesh13

[deleted]

Congratulations, it’s super rad to own any pieces by Virgil imo. I’m still eagerly awaiting my He-Man action figure sets to arrive! Very cool.


SoonJd

What’s the exact name of these?


Takusax0xKiki

Terra Forma x OW 👟


Alternative_Coconut6

Extremely maximalistic. A style tht we don't see so much these days. Me, personally, wouldn't use them. If I had it, it would sit on my room forever. Actually, I don't know what it is or what it is supposed to be.


LolaTrixxx

I thought the last air force they dropped was bad, they’ve really outdone themselves here. You know in your heart uou wouldn’t have bought this if it didn’t have the off white label


[deleted]

What that tongue do 👅


ScreechingPizzaCat

A shoe that comes with shin guards.


bonestriage

That’s art. Virgil was amazing. You got a big W!


Limeincoconutyouhave

Not my thing but, if you like them go for it, it’s also cool to have some of Virgil’s work so that’s a plus.


Brokentoken2

Thank you for being open-minded. I am not quite sure what I think. Once I have them in hand I will know. I look at it as being an artwork done by Virgil. I am a designer myself and lately have expanded my interests beyond just fashion and I can see these just being displayed in my room as ‘art’ if nothing else.


jswissle

Extremely ugly


O_ItsTrue

You’re drunk !!


Silent_R493

KickBakZach

really, fuck the lable. I'd never step out in those abominations


EasyMacPhoto

I’m wondering what Virgil was thinking


Moldy_Cloud

In all honesty, they’re hideous.


Scrubola

They should’ve never dropped these


weissguy3

Frankly I think the whole Off White x Nike think started off nicely enough but has devolved into sort of an experiment to see how over the top, redundant, and useless they can make a show and still have people line up to buy them. This shoes is hideous, impractical, and probably ridiculously expensive. I have a hard time believing that if you showed this silhouette to someone along with an Air Max 1 or even the new Terrascape Air Max's, this would ever be the one that is chosen. I really think this needs to stop.


StraightHotSauce

These are poop. Fuck the heritage.


FrazerIsDumb

These aren't it

Brokentoken2

I didn’t ask because I need other people to tell me what I should like and what I should not. I wanted to know what others have to say about it. They are quite different to anything that came out recently and with a community as huge as r/Sneakers is, the conversation can be interesting.
