The change was also meant to resemble an infinity symbol - you can trace the pattern across the midsole and Nike Off White never pick up your finger. Irving grew up and entered the professional arena during an era that benefited from being able to pick footwear from the best of the best. Official images only stoke the flame, further teasing the colorway just after a sizable delay. At a glance, the sneaker resembles the Nike Dunk Low, which has experienced a surge in popularity since 2019.

This dresses the midsole as per usual Off White x Nike as well as the toe cap and mid-panel. Elsewhere, though, the dark green shade takes the stage, dyeing not just the overlays but also the lining and tread. The Chicago forward tells his personal story through his Freak 1 silhouette - printing Underdog on the inside of the tongue of his shoes, which represents how he felt he was under-recruited throughout his career. The adjacent accents, then, alternate between Dark Smoke Grey, Fossil Stone, Light Bordeaux, and Cement Grey, creating a palette much more diverse than past winterized options.

Growing up, something I always loved while going through school was varsity style, says Plange. The varsity jacket was this ultimate attempt to explore identity. The Air Jordan 1 Mid is still the brand's champion, leading the charge through sheer numbers. And the latest to join the Off-White x Air Max 97 frontlines is a colorway rather familiar, its drab, grey palette a close alternative to the Light Smoke Grey offered previously. Kyrie Irving's oeuvre, the last three versions designed by Benjamin Nethongkome, proves that style and personality can exist in symbiosis. His latest shoe, the KYRIE 6, simultaneously advances a chassis built for his singular game and a canvas for his eclectic persona.
