Nike x Off-White Presto Black Review
Description
Dropping one collab after another, Virgil Abloh comes through once again with a reiteration of his popular project with Nike. The Off-White x Air Presto 'Black' is part of the monochromatic duo from the previous release, offering a more muted vibe with the right amount of flair. A modernized version of the iconic 2000s silhouette, these kicks feature a black colorway. What attracts us are the contrasting white Swoosh, Helvetica branding, and Supreme tie, all coming together with a deconstructed and unfinished look the designer is known for. We think these are very extraordinary kicks, a true looker from any angle, that one either hates or loves.

The OFF-WHITE x Air Presto ‘Black’ features an aesthetic that visibly shows each part of the sneakers’ architecture. Some may like the in-your-face exposed designs like the bared stitching, pads on the tongue, rugged sole, or even the oversized ‘AIR’ printed on the heel, while some may not. Either way, these kicks deliver a monochromatic mood in black with strategic hints of colors orange, white, and red, as well as a velcro strap to keep the feet secured comfortably without any risk of slipping out.
