IYKYK: 6 Pairs of Off-White Sneakers That Insiders Go Crazy For
There are few designer sneakers that have achieved a cult following like Off-White sneakers have. Not only have they managed to maintain their grip on the most in-the-know sneakerheads, but they've also impressed even the most discerning fashion people and celebrities alike. A creative visionary the fashion world still mourns, founder Virgil Abloh left an indelible mark on the luxury market, and while his design legacy extends far beyond footwear, his sneakers are easily some of the most iconic and sought-after items that bear the Off-White label.
Now, let's talk specifics. We've narrowed in on the six most important pairs to jump-start your sneaker knowledge. Whether it's the classic silhouettes adorned with the label's signature zip-tie details or the styles in collaboration with Nike that shoppers are outbidding each other for, we're diving into the best Off-White sneakers worth becoming a hypebae for. Keep reading to see how celebs and fashion people are wearing each and shop them all.
Off-White Out of Office Sneakers
On Hailey Bieber: Tre by Natalie Ratabesi jacket; Bottega Veneta Point Medium Leather Tote ($3200); Off-White Out of Office Sneakers ($570); Odessa Vintage Inmate Sunglasses ($379)
With their chubby soles and retro basketball shape, these are easily a fashion-person favorite to wear with casual outfits. As such, they're called the Out Of Office style for good reason—the kicks are a key element of off-duty style for celebs and insiders.
Earning fashion and celebrity fans alike.
Off-White Off Court 3.0 Sneakers
On Rihanna: Off-White Off Court 3.0 High-Top Sneakers ($605)
If Rihanna gives it her stamp of approval, we're pretty much sold. She's hardly the only celeb fan of the Off Court 3.0 Sneakers, but they're a staple in the A-lister's collection and one she tends to wear on repeat. The classic high-top shape lends itself to styling with plenty of things, from sweats to jeans, and the shoes are adorned with the brand's signature zip ties.
Nike x Off-White Air Jordan 1 Sneakers
On Bella Hadid: Amiri jacket; Charlotte Knowles top; Staud Felix Bag ($295); Nike x Off-White Air Jordan 1 Sneakers
We'd argue that no sneakers are more sought after than those from Nike's collaborations with Off-White, starting with the Air Jordan 1 style. Abloh took Michael Jordan's iconic high-top style and put his own spin on it, adding his signature deconstructed aesthetic and "Air" text.
Off-White Odsy-1000 Sneakers
On Leona Lewis: Off-White Odsy-1000 Sneakers ($705)
Off-White's Odsy-1000 sneakers are part runners, part hikers, and fully sneakerhead approved. They feature a chunky, cleated sole so they give more of a streetwear aesthetic that's proven to be especially popular on the street style front.
Nike x Off-White Air Max 90 Sneakers
On Alessandra Ambrosio: Reebok x Victoria Beckham sweater and sports bra; Nike x Off-White Air Max 90 Sneakers ($798)
Another iconic Nike style given the Off-White treatment is the Air Max 90, a personal favorite of Alessandra Ambrosio, who we've spotted sporting the shoes on repeat.
Nike x Off-White Dunk Low-Top Sneakers
On Gigi Hadid: Bleusalt Polo Shirt ($125); The Row Park Leather Tote ($2350); Nike x Off-White Dunk Low-Top Sneakers ($1364)
Just like with the other Nike x Off-White styles, the low-top Dunks were only released in limited quantities, heightening the exclusivity and hype around them. Gigi Hadid favors this pair with cool staples, like relaxed denim and a collared top.
