We talk about dominance in industries like music and sports, but when discussing dominance in fashion, please mention Virgil Abloh. Virgil has been on a sneaker streak similar to Floyd Mayweatherโs 50-0 boxing record. Every sneaker release from Virgil is a piece of history. Virgil has reached the point where heโs able to sell anything for any price and itโs a hit. With his most recent release, Virgil revisited a classic Jordan silhouette and created magic. With much anticipation behind the sneakerโs release, Virgil decided to drop the Jordan 5 Off-White during All-Star Weekend 2020 in his hometown, Chicago, Illinois. The entire city was on the SNKRS app nonstop, trying to cop what most considered to be one of the best sneakers of 2020 so far. Many tried to cop, but many ultimately failed when it came to grabbing these kicks for retail. But what did most people expect? Virgil is the man right now and doesnโt plan on slowing down anytime soon.
This Jordan 5 is comprised of a black textile mesh upper with translucent netted panels and circular window inserts throughout the shoe. 3M reflective tongues, fire red Jordan branding, and an aged translucent outsole complete the design.
