Off-White x Air Jordan Thread - Rest In Peace Virgil Abloh

[aquatic barefoot]

I know Nike reps in high places lurk here, so here:
PLEASE DON'T GO W/ THAT CRACKED MIDSOLE LOOK ITS UGLY UNSETTLING. GO W/ A FULLY TRANSLUCENT MIDSOLE THAT WILL YELLOW W/ AGE OR JUST GO FOR THE REGULAR 2 LOOK, BUT PLEASE NO TO THAT CRACKED MIDSOLE AESTHETIC. IT LOOK VERY BAD IN A BAD WAY. I REALLY WANT TO LIKE THIS SHOE & HAVE BEEN FORWARD TO A 2 SINCE RUMOURS BEGAN TO SWIRL. PLEASE. DON'T. DO. THIS.

Too late fam.

Shoes already been produced; probably on their way to the U.S. as I type.

Off white 2s are a must, sorry... I'm especially loving the sig and cracked midsole. Definitely copped!

In for the white, black pair is ehh.

 

[jordanfreak23]

I love 2's. Especially the lows. Wore my white/red pair a few weeks ago and looked down to sole separation. Broke my heart. Do I have off-white's now?
I'll be attempting to repair them with shoe goo or contact glue. If I can build up the confidence.
Nike/JB...Please do these in OG form. Both high's and lows. TRUST ME, there are plenty of us out here who LOVE 2's. I think it's the most underrated and underproduced Jordan of all time.

Feeling the white and red low top 2’s. Think the cracked midsole is hot, can’t front. The cream laces make them go from fire to out of control. Virgil is corny but he’s one of us. Take that as you will

I literally only defend him cuz he's Ghanaian

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

Of course I’ll try.

 

[kilroythedon]

Those are actually dope, but I hate that MJ signature being on the sneaker

 

[Rumble]

I could do without the signature, but I’m all in for these. Put my 04s to rest. Shape isn’t bad either

We have to stick together Medaase

 

[NToweG]

That fake a55 signature gots to go

 

[tezz016gmail]

Virgil has a way of making me appreciate what I already have

Wear then til they krumble an OG retro would still be nice

 

[mr z]

Not a fan of the midsole AT ALL

 

[mattva]

The signature feels like corporate-meddling to me. Like someone at JB made the call, not Virgil. lmao.

 

[Fadakar]

I love the clear bits on the midsole, hate the fake cracks molded in though. Was really hoping for a "Jordan 5" take where they'd be a familiar colorway in a new material, the decon look is great but everything else is meh for me.

 

[Girl Thats Jules]

My naturally aged 2s are gonna sell for more now.

 

[stillmatic718]

As promised.... In TJ Maxx with the lady and my sole started separating! ☹

Wonder if this will be the catalyst to the bastardization of the 2s.

Wonder if this will be the catalyst to the bastardization of the 2s.

You saying that as if it hasn’t happened already? The two has gotten some less than pleasing retro colorways in the past ten years.

 

[a blinkin]

The poor colorways we’ve seen on the 2s don’t come close to what we’ve seen with the 1s.

They’re pumping out 1s practically on a monthly basis at this point. Albeit a trend that’s been around for years, it seems like JB kicked it into overdrive since the off whites dropped. That’s when I recall the hype being focused on the 1s and people looking at them as the “it” shoe.
