Nike / Off-White
Air Max 97 Off-White Menta
Virgil Abloh and Nike turned the Air Max 97 inside out with this Menta iteration — part of the landmark "The Ten" collection that redefined how designers engage with heritage silhouettes.
A White and Menta base runs across the full-length Air unit and rippled upper, disrupted by Abloh's signature deconstructed details: exposed stitching, raw-edged overlays, and the unmistakable "AIR" branding printed along the midsole. Lace dubraes, zip-tie hangtags, and the "SHOELACES" text on the laces complete the deliberately unfinished aesthetic that defined the entire Off-White collaboration.
Where the Black and Silver Bullet colorways leaned harder, the Menta reads softer — without losing any of its edge. A grail for collectors who followed Off-White from the beginning, and a gateway piece for everyone who came after.
