Last year’s “The Ten” collection by Nike and Virgil Abloh’s Off-White were probably the most talked about sneaker collaboration of 2017. Nearly every sneaker convention in the world towards the later part of the year had sneakerheads flexing their favourite pairs from the collection.

That momentum doesn’t seem to be wavering any time soon, particularly after a very strong showing of demand for the recently released Off-White x Nike VaporMax in black last March.

According to several insiders, including the fast-growing @py_rates, Nike and Off-White are nowhere close to being done with their ongoing partnership. In fact, if the rumours are to be believed, there are enough sneaker releases to last the whole year.

Here are some of the rumoured sneakers slated for a release in 2018 from Nike and Off-White.

1) Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 ’07 in White

Originally part of the “AF100” pack to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Air Force 1 silhouette, the Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 ’07 was a ComplexCon exclusive release. However, in early March, official product images were uploaded onto Nike.com, suggesting that a wider release may be in the cards. There isn’t a rumoured release date as of yet, so stay tuned for more details on this one.

2) Off-White x Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit

Right off the bat from the March 30th release of the Off-White x Nike Air VaporMax in black, it appears that there may be a follow-up in white dropping this April. U.K. retailer END. Clothing posted a teaser for the pair on its blog, stating that “a white-out counterpart to Virgil’s black re-issue is now confirmed”. Early pairs of the shoe also showed up at Stadium Goods back in February. While END. stopped short of stating a release date (only stating it was “coming soon”), @py_rates has revealed a potential April 14 drop.

3) Off-White x Nike Air Jordan 1 “UNC”

Rumours of an Off-White Air Jordan 1 in UNC colours have been around for a number of months but there still isn’t concrete information directly from the sources. However, reports do point towards a potential May 2018 release date. It’s unclear however as to whether the pair will be exclusive to a particular region as the previous Off-White x Air Jordan 1 in white was exclusive to Europe.

4) Off-White x Nike Blazer Studio Mid “Canvas”

According to @py_rates, there are a total of three Blazer Studio Mid colourways set to drop from Nike and Off-White this year. Kicking off the Blazer party is a light-coloured edition in Canvas and Pale Vanilla. The pair is expected to drop in July.

5) Off-White x Nike Blazer Studio Mid “Black”

The second of the three Blazer drops comes in the form of Black, contrasting both the rumoured Canvas pair as well as last year’s white version. The mock-up by @py_rates illustrates the pair with a predominantly black outlook, white Swoosh with orange tab and Nike branding tab on the tongue in white with red lettering. Rumoured to drop in September.

6) Off-White x Nike Air Max 90 in black

October 2018 is set to be a busy month for Off-White and Nike as they prepare to launch a series of shoes  during the month. The first of the lot is rumoured to be a new Air Max 90, this time in black, as illustrated by @py_rates above. The pair is a follow-up to the white/grey edition that released last year.

7) Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low

Sharing a similar aesthetic to the MoMA-exclusive pair, there appears to be a new Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low in black on the horizon. Based on the mock-ups however, it appears that this October’s edition will take on different materials from the traditional leather version from MoMA.

8) Off-White x Nike Zoom Fly

Following last year’s white version of the Zoom Fly, this year’s “The Ten” collection will include a Zoom Fly in black. The overall visual looks pretty similar to last year’s pair with the exception of the colour of its uppers. This one’s also expected to arrive in October 2018.

9) Off-White x Nike Air Max 97

Rumour has it that the Swoosh and Off-White are planning to release not one, but two new colourways of the Air Max 97 this November. The first is a straight-up colour swap from last year’s white to black, with an oversized Swoosh in white for contrast. The second however, showcases the first use of the colour “Menta” on an Off-White x Nike collaboration.

Of course, Nike and Off-White have yet to confirm these rumoured releases, so do stay tuned throughout the year for more updates as soon as we get them.
