In 2022, 40 years since the Air Force 1 was introduced, a culmination of the rich history of the silhouette was realized with the introduction of the Louis Vuitton x Nike “Air Force 1” by Virgil Abloh. Released posthumously, Abloh’s work seamlessly connected the decades of prominence of Nike’s famed sneaker. In total, Virgil Abloh designed 47 bespoke pairs of the Nike “Air Force 1” for the Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2022 show in collaboration with Nike.

The Louis Vuitton Nike Air Force 1 Low by Virgil Abloh White expresses the late Abloh’s spin on Nike’s ever-popular Air Force 1 Low basketball shoe. Abloh reinvents the White-on-White color story in luxe LV-stamped leather. Louis Vuitton branding in gold appears throughout. Abloh nods to his Off-White clothing brand, with a small hangtag below the Swoosh and an additional 'AIR' printed next to Nike’s AIR on the midsole.
