Virgil Abloh‘s Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 “University Gold” has been on our radar since they were teased earlier this year and now they’re ready for their summer debut. We now have official images of the Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 “University Gold”. These will probably debut at Abloh’s “Figures of Speech” exhibit at ICA Boston, the “University Gold” offers a loud, monochromatic look that serves as a continuation of 2019’s ultra-limited Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 Low “MCA Chicago.”
So, if you remember the Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 “MCA Chicago” collaboration then you’ll feel right at home with the “University Gold” iteration. The shoe comes fully coated in a rich yellow hue. Branding comes as dynamic metallic silver Swooshes. Which sits loosely stitched on with black thread. Special details grace both the lateral and medial quarters: the former features a delicately pinned yellow fabric tab, the latter comes blasted with stamped Off-White™ branding. A yellow plastic zip tie hangs down from the laces as well.

Elements of the shoe, to no surprise come with signature Off-White detailing like an exposed foam tongue in addition to an off-center tag that leans towards the medial collar. You notice taped detailing on the heel. Co-branded hits sit neatly on the insoles, and a last flourished finishes come in the form the black “AIR” graphic placed on the midsole above and in front of the AF1’s standard embossed Air hit.
There isn’t a release date or pricing information for the Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 Low “University Gold” but we will keep you posted when we find out. Abloh’s exhibition at ICA Boston opens on July 3. So we’ll likely find out more then. You can take a detailed look at the images in the gallery above.
