Virgil Abloh, one of the most creative Streetwear designer of OFF -WHITE teams up with Nike in a collaborative design project named "The Ten." The design is all focused on the Nike classics. “What we’re talking about here is larger than sneakers, it’s larger than design culture. It’s nothing short of state-of-the-art design. These 10 shoes have broken barriers in performance and style. To me, they are on the same level as a sculpture of David or the Mona Lisa. You can debate it all you want, but they mean something. And that’s what’s important.” says Virgil Abloh
