Original Post 01.13.2021 // One of the most coveted OFF-WHITE footwear collaborations of recent times will finally see a retail release. Yes, that’s right, the duo of OFF-WHITE x Futura x Nike Dunk Lows will be releasing in 2022 — and the confirmation came from the man himself.
Originally debuted during Paris Fashion Week back in 2019, the OFF-WHITE x Futura x Nike Dunk Low linked hype-drivers Virgil Abloh and legendary graffiti artist Futura for two colorways. One, a UNC-like mix of Baby Blue and White, the other a mix of striking Fluro Orange and Royal — both of which ostensibly honor sports franchise colors of Futura’s native New York. Both pairs arrive with some familiar touches from their respective collaborators, with Abloh’s overlaying laces and medial c/o text, while Futura’s signature “FL” (Futura Laboratories) embroidery gracing the lateral ankle as it has done on many SB Dunks in the past. It also utilizes his signature on the translucent outsoles and the insoles, and his landmark typeface used alongside OFF-WHITE’s no-frills Helvetica.
Now, after years of teasers and speculation, the pairs will finally be released, or as said by Virgil himself, “ACTUALLY PENDING” — a sly crack at constant release rumors that often never eventuate. The confirmation came alongside five other confirmed releases today via his pop-up website, though a release date for these (nor the other pairs) was not identified.
With more information on the release of the OFF-WHITE x Futura x Nike Dunk Lows to follow soon, be sure to keep your eyes locked on the official HOUSE OF HEAT Twitter account for updates. Until then, though, you can take a look at the pair in detail here below.
