Back in White: Nike x OFF-WHITE Air Presto White



It’s a name that feels like it should come with its own drum beat, “The 10: Nike Air Presto.” Virgil Abloh has proven to be an unstoppable source of hype for anything he sets his sights on. But, what happens when he decides to grace one of the most recognizable shoes ever?

The result is this recent iteration of the Nike Air Presto, now with a white colorway. Think about it for a second. The Air Presto has been a major piece of every Nike OG’s collection for a very long time now.



From its background to its more modern reputation, this isn’t exactly a so-so piece of footwear. So, as you can imagine, having the Off-White stamp of approval would only intensify this beyond recognition.

Well, most of us know this isn’t the first time the Presto has been a Virgil Abloh muse. The first time around, it was in a serene and deconstructed Black colorway. Here, its more recent edition debuts in a more muted white base.


Nonetheless, all of the Off-White trappings are still aplenty. The shoe still shows its guts a bit, boasting proudly everything that usually sits within the shoe. Never one to be sneaky about things, Abloh’s signature red zip-tie is very evident.

If nothing else, this most recent White iteration differs from its predecessor by being split into less visual parts. The first time we saw Off-White’s vision of the Presto, it came across as a canvas of deconstruction. Every little element seemed independent of the rest of the shoe – even though the design was fluent and uniform.

This White look, on the other hand, divides the visual here into two things: the shoe’s overall tone and the bold Red zip-tie. Though there’s plenty to take in from this shoe in its several finer details, the eye can’t help but pick on those two features.

Good luck getting these if you happen to miss the retail drop. Resell prices are going to make you wonder about life choices!
