The “Friends & Family” Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1s, conceptualized by the late Virgil Abloh, consists of eight colorways, including black, orange, and red. English Sole is providing us with the first in-depth look at the yellow colorway.
Each pair bears a solid-colored upper debossed with the classic LV monogram print. The Nike swoosh and the shoe’s linings come in a contrasting white. The soles feature the word “Air” in the famous Off-White-style lettering.
Each pair comes in an LV monogram box, two dust bags for proper storage, and a postcard with the words “Virgil Was Here.”
It’s not clear how many yellow pairs are in circulation. Several celebrities posted the pairs they received to social media earlier this year. Both LeBron James and Eminem showed off the black colorway, while DJ Khaled was sporting the red colorway. Nelly, “Mr. 2 Pairs,” posted up a purple pair.
Earlier this month, Sotheby’s auctioned off 200 limited edition pairs of the Louis Vuitton Air Force 1s for a record-breaking $25.3 million. The proceeds went to Abloh’s “Post-Modern” scholarship. The scholarship was founded by the late fashion mogul to benefit Black fashion students.
