Blazer Mid Off-White Grim Reaper
Virgil Abloh and Nike delivered one of their most haunting collaborations with the Blazer Mid Off-White Grim Reaper — a shoe that transforms the classic basketball silhouette into something darker and more conceptual. Part of Abloh's deconstructed vision for the Blazer, this iteration strips away convention in favor of raw, industrial storytelling.
Black leather forms the foundation, overlaid with Off-White's signature text graphics and deconstructed detailing throughout the upper. The white Swoosh cuts through the darkness while exposed foam on the tongue and medial side reveals the shoe's inner construction. Orange zip-tie and translucent outsole complete Abloh's blueprint for reimagined sportswear.
A grail piece that sits at the intersection of high fashion and street culture, built for those who understand that the best collaborations challenge expectations. The Grim Reaper extends Abloh's legacy of turning familiar silhouettes into conceptual statements.
