Virgil Abloh: The Rise of OFF-WHITE Sneakers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Virgil Abloh's contribution to not only the sneaker world but the fashion world as a whole, is massive. In the past few years, Virgil Abloh's designs have set new highs and broken new ground. Since his death in November of 2021, the prices of his OFF-White Sneakers have reached all time highs. While sure some of that is money hungry resellers, a lot of it is people realizing how special his work really was. In this video we are going to take a deep dive into the Virgil Abloh's sneaker designs and talk about Nike's already legendary partnership with Abloh's brand OFF-White. Hope you guys will this video as much as I enjoyed learning about the genius of Virgil Abloh. Rest in Power.

What's your favorite OFF-White Sneaker of all time?
Presto
All Hallows Eve Nike Blazer
All Hallows Blazer, the AF1, and the white Jordan 1s are my personal favorites
@@walterroux291 Hell yeah the best one
@@supremebm4256 I like the Serena Williams Blazer
I can’t believe it’s already been almost 5 years since the release of The 10. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Virgil had an immense impact on the culture and fashion both. He is one of the main reasons why streetwear is now part of high fashion. He merged the two world which seemed impossible before.
R.I.P. virgil.🕊❤️
Couldn't agree more my friend. Thanks for watching!
Others have been contributing to street culture into high fashion. He was not the pioneer. To call him that is an insult to such legends as Alexander McQueen, Murokami, Yohji Yamamoto, even previous LV artistic director Marc Jacob's and current Pharrell have all been doing crossover street to high fashion before Virgil even come out of university. Pyrex and Off White were super hypebeast brands, selling literally junk in the form of graffiti and so called 'deconstruction' or rather destruction of existing designs. I wouldn't call Virgil so much as a pioneer but a pirate. The Ponzy scheme of fashion.
I was never a fan of his design, but that doesn't mean that I don't appreciate the cultural impact of Virgil.
I understand that huge impact of the Nike Collab in our lives. Off White is really far away of my own of personal style but is and was a big part of the streetwear.
Had a massive impact on the culture. Appreciate you watching regardless Alexandru!
Seriously breaks my heart we won't get to see any more designs and makes me treasure every bit I picked up along the way, though I wish I'd picked up many more at this point. Probably my number one item I own or is my favourite is the "Temporary" Clock from IKEA, and the fact his passing makes that much more meaningful.
Hey Walter, yeah man to be honest it was pretty heartbreaking making this video and watching tons of interviews of his. RIP. I'm jealous of your IKEA clock! Thanks for watching
The business will still continue
@@Repcitykickz that's true and I'm happy about that and the fact he left so many designs for his team to continue working with. But we'll never see him evolve or progress any further. Part of the joy of watching his career starting from something rudimentary like Pyrex and evolve into Off-White and LV as well as all his other brand collaborations. Imagine if you cut Steven Smith career short at 40, all the great designs that came later. There'd be no Yeezy, well not as they look today.

haha I love you for that. Thanks for watching man!
Thanks for the content, i cannot begin to list the things inlearned on this channel, truly amazing
Thank you for making this video. I found it very informative and interesting since I really don’t know much about off-white. I don’t know what my favorite off-white sneaker is. I’m not really into Jordan 1s, but that Jordan 2 looked pretty cool. I tried to get a pair on the SNKRS app, but didn’t win. It was amazing and very interesting how he did the deterioration on the mid sole. Great video!!! 👍👍
haha I tried to get all the pairs but also failed on SNKRS app like many people. The Jordan 2s are amazing. Thanks for watching man!
*He did a good job on the 2's*
As a sneakerhead in my 40s, I have come across 2 creative geniuses in design, fashion and sneaker culture. Both are no longer with us and both passed away in their 40s. Rest in heavenly peace Alexander Mcqueen (Puma)and Virgil Abloh (Nike), ameen ☝🏻❤😥💐
What both did was legendary and will be remembered by generations. ❤❤💎💎👑👑
Yeah it's always sad to see someone so talented be taken away early. RIP!
Don't know that I'd refer to him as a genius tho. Then again, if you can slap a logo on something and make sheeple pay a 700% markup, maybe therein lies the genius.
My favorite Off-White shoe is the OW Jordan 4. Very fire colorway, and as you said, less is more! I personally think the last two Off White collabs were pretty garbage, but I still respect Virgil's hard work and dedication til the end. It's very impressive to see all that he accomplished and his very big portfolio of work. Great video as always!
Props to you taking the time to make the video Brian, I know how hard it was and your work and effort shines each time man.
Probably going to be super unpopular for a comment but I think Abloh's designs at least with Nike were pretty lazy, maybe it's because I'm a software designer and commerial artist myself and I tend to have a different thought when I think of "design" while it is different simply slapping a few things on a shoe and having some slight colour tweaks doesn't make you a designer in my eyes, did he change the form? structure? did he add elements that were actually thought out and either added benefit or function to the wearer? Otherwise doing what he did for the most part seems to cope out because you're taking the hard work of actual designers that took time to try, build and fail and just slap your "3%" change and sell it.
No disrespect to him as a person, it's very sad and I'm sorry he's not around and for what it's worth despite my comments on his design he left a large and missing impact for sure.
Thanks Daniel! I can see what your saying about him being a lazy designer but I thought he was brilliant. Thanks for watching man
Let's goooo 🔥 R.I.P. Virgil 🕊
Thanks Carlos. Rest in Peace. Dude was a genius
*OG + Hype Beast = Greatness*
*Unfortunately The Only Off White Store Flag Ship Store Closed Down In Toronto in early 2021*
*Covid-19*
*My First Was The Vapor Max White*
*Pyrex shirt*
*If he would've done a Nike Arty Mcfly I Would've sold my apartment*
*+Virgil Abloh+*
Off white fell off if u ask me but its a part of sneaker culture
What a beautiful tribute vid to Virgil Abloh and his work. This designer changed the sneaker world forever and connected the fashion world with the sneaker world more closely than anyone else. Really great editing 🔥 I really enjoyed the video. Imo NachoAveragFinds is the GOAT of sneaker history 💯🔥🐐✨✨✨✨✨🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
What up Max! Thanks for hanging with me on the livestream man. Helped me stay focused and get this out on time.
How did he change the sneaker world? I've been collecting sneakers for 20 plus years. I don't take one ounce of influence from Virgil's designs.
I would even go out to call him a fraud. Anyone can 'deconstruct' or graffiti a sneaker with text such as 'Air' and 'shoelace'. Wasn't even creative. I don't get these people calling him a genious. For what? using anothers design and capitalizing on it. Then yes he was a genious at making money not design. So many hypebeast fast fashion followers cant delineate between creativity and piracy.
May god rest Virgils soul. He will surely be missed and will forever be 1 of a kind.
I remember going to LA from the Undefeated raffle for the 10 release. I remember the shoes a sizes wouldn’t show up on my phone and just guessed on what I was signing up for and actually hit on a air max 90s but just half a size bigger than my size. Ended up selling them but that memory is forever with me. Thanks Virgil.
Aw damn! Those AM90s are grails man. That's too bad that you sold them.
Honestly I think that the appeal of the shoes is that you got an honestly good product. A lot of the other things he did people question the quality of (ex. The early Pyrex stuff). Even if you take away the Off-White stuff, you were getting a Nike shoe. So I feel like there was more material value to these instead of people going just off the brand names.
A legend nevertheless and gone far too soon. We really are missing out on his specific take even if I don’t really like the design shoes, it’s different and even I can appreciate the different view.
Thanks for the thoughtful Simon

Rip Virgil but he was a scammer ngl
I heard somebody else talking about this dude one time...💁🏻💯✔️
A visionary way ahead of his time
He truly was
Dude was beyond talented and as black man it's not fair... He had so much more to give. Can honestly say he's 1 of the few who put the whole world on notice and made us get fresh again. FLY High King💯
Dope video! Idk much about this dude...he was a genius! Love all the sneaker videos.
I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. Much love!
Kuh-NAIR-ree yellow. Not cannery.
When you said it had never been a drop with so many color ways I’m like… do you not remember the shelltoe Pharrell collab?? Lmao it was like 100 of then
Oh yeah I remember that. You're correct man
Great vid. Hope you guys have a great year.
Why isn't the footage of Brian losing to the Bots being used for the Solesavy ad? It was hilarious.
haha Trauma
Happy new year bro. May blessings come your way 🙏.
Thank you Miguel. You as well my friend!
i don't remember where i saw this but the upper of the off white presto is actually an inside out air max 90
If that’s true that’s amazing
Love this channel!!! Glad you all did this tribute to Virgil.
انا الله وانا اليه راجعون
Thanks for watching Adbul!
Bro just skipped the rubber dunks
Rip Virgil, you will be very very missed 💔 I hope 1 day we’ll see the Futura off while dunk.
Btw You miss the lime green & black AF1!
I did miss the VOLT green Air Force! I just noticed that. Thanks for pointing it out
To be honest, I don't rate his collection. I think he rode the design of great classic designs of Nike. The silhouettes never changed, just coloured in and written on. There is nothing new design wise, maybe the Presto but nothing else.
He used unique materials and had his own style. I can see why you would think that though. Thanks for watching!
@@NachoAverageFinds it’s a good video. I like his stuff under Off White just thought that he never defined a silhouette.
My favorite is the pair you can currently get for retail.
Lmao
All these shoes he did was ugly
Thank you for making a video about Virgil. It really sucks that he died at a young age. Rip Virgil🕊
Yeah I was in shock man. Kind of tough making a video about him but I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Couldn't have started the year off better than by commemorating such an icon. Great way to kick things off 👏🏽
Lately i’ve been rewatching your videos a lot and you blessed me with a video about Off-White, damn i love your content!
Man I'm forever grateful for that. Thank you so much for supporting the channel!
LOL i will never understand "off white". Off white sneakers just look silly to me. You couldnt pay me to wear off whites. Just goes to show how powerful gimmicks are these days.....
My favorite sneaker in The 10 is the Air Jordan 1.
Can't go wrong with those joints!
Always wanted the black Vapormax’s. Almost bought fakes just for the hell of it lol. And looking back now, the Prestos are definite fire!
I don't get or follow this man design (or something like already designed without flaws) shoes worth more than the original or retros ...
Off-white were invented alongwith the Converse already in mid 80's . All he'd done was adding " “. Don't know it's valuables and hype
Man, I'd love a pair of those Off White Bred 4s, they look real nice.
Virgil was a genius - air force 1 black and Chicago Jordan 1 are The best looking sneakers of all time in my opinion - luckily i have air forces and hope to have Jordan 1 Chicago but are damn expensive btw off White clothing also gonna be forever in my hearth and im still wearing it
AMAZING cool content bro’s.. 🙏
Thank you brother Richard!
The off white Jordan 1’s are my favorite and I own them. My fav pair of shoes
This channel deserves way more views than it’s getting
I'm happy you think that Mikey. Thanks bro!
You should check out the Asics tri noosa series. funky colours and the 14th generation is looking the best super lightweight
Despite all the problems and bad attention on him. He did help give birth to a new wave of hype to the current hype
Can u make a video about Jordan 5 lows
We made one all abou tthe history of the Jordan 5
Could never afford a pair, but I'd like a pair of Jordan 5s
I tried to cop on all of them but failed haha Jordan 5s are amazing
@@NachoAverageFinds 🤧😂
The BEST from the 10 is the Jordan 1… the Presto is a close second. LoL
my favorite the 10, are either the blazer because i love skating, or the 1 because i love 1,s
I think it’s insulting for resellers to be charging tons of money for the Off Whites now
Should we crowd fund a pair of prestos for my guy? feel like he deserves them for the amount of work he put in
Thank you virgil abloh
RIP
Rubber Dunks an athletic shoe, LOL! I had a pair of those and they were heavy AF!
Haha They look like they'd be super heavy to be honest
I got a pair of grim reapers but I treasure my off white champion hoodie
Airmax 90 is by far the best from the ten collection.
Fantastic video! R.i.P Virgil, your impact will be felt for generations to come!
Thanks Filip! RIP Virgil Abloh
I don't see the big deal with this guy. May he rest in peace nonetheless.
i love my vapormaxes
Cherish em
For me AJ1 UNCs are something ! Happy New Years you guys!
Happy New Year Arup
I hope to see him in heaven
RIP

He died 2 days before my birthday. Rest easy Virgil
Happy nee year fam!
Happy New Year bro! Hope you had a great holiday season

I've never wanted a Channel to blow up more than yours. You and Nacho make the best content. I'm watching and liking everything you do
The first vídeo I ever see of this guy and I love it keep the With good work
I'm glad you like it!
The Jordan 1 off white. #jordanbrandsneakers 🐐🦸♂️🏋️♂️😁🤑💯🔥💪👌👏👍👟🙏🏀⛹️♂️❤️🇵🇭
Another’ soothing atmospheric video to consume with my dinner. Satisfying
Do you have a video featuring AF2’s or even 3’s Bry, I got a feeling you did feature them in one I’ve seen?
The AF2 high white, Royal blue, varsity red was a special shoe I had in my late teens and I’ve never been able to obtain another pair…
Also the air max 91 bw that was the first high end shoe that I got from my dad as a kid, they’re often in the shadow of the am90…
Hey Ed! Hope all is well man. Yes of course we've covered both of those sneakers. If you search the playlist tab on our channel you can find all the Air Jordan vides we've made. Almost done with covering Jordan 1 through 15.
@@NachoAverageFinds what a scholar 🤜🤛
@@NachoAverageFinds dude I can’t find what I’m looking for, I’ve been trying since. On the plus side I’m watching loads of the videos again while I’m at it so good for the channel 🙂
It’s the one with the 6/8 original Air Force 2 colour ways they did to match the various basket ball team colours. The red white and blue was one.
And the air max 91, the bw (big window) that followed the air max 90. The air max video series starts with the 95 and that’s the 4th air max shoe as far as I know, I know you did the air max 1 (just watched it again), but a video including the 90 and 91 I can’t find 🤷♂️
Thanks for consistently dropping quantity sneaker content
Appreciate you noticing Marty
I am personally not a fan of off white because idrc about basic text say “air” and “off-white…..” and the basic stitch near the swoosh, plus the limited quality makes me think they are just popular for hypebeast rather than popular for style
Great video!
Well done. Very respectful. Virgil was a genius. Thank you for giving him his flowers.
🙏🏾
RIP
Virgil was trailblazer!
He definitely was man!
@@NachoAverageFinds he will be missed..
Great episode! Kicking 2022 off on a great foot 🦶👟
Thanks for being here to watch it Jonathan!
My favourite are the air max 90
My favorite from the 10 is the Chuck Converse
A lot of people love those! Not my favorite if I'm being honest but I love the translucent sole
Rest In Peace Virgil
great vids thanks for sharing keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for watching Joe!
I absolutely love the OW Presto's, Blazer's and Jordan 1's.
R.i.p. never heard of him thank you for the information.
Oh wow man. Check out more vids on him. Thanks for watching brotha!
RIP Virgil the Great … he hands down changed the sneaker game. I agree thar off white air presto was second to none ! 👌🏾
He changed it for good too. Rest in Peace!
@@NachoAverageFinds ABSOLUTELY …. He breathed new life into sneakers , simple but super creative !
Definitely Presto
