In 2022, 40 years since the Air Force 1 was introduced, a culmination of the rich history of the silhouette was realized with the introduction of the Louis Vuitton x Nike “Air Force 1” by Virgil Abloh. Released posthumously, Abloh’s work seamlessly connected the decades of prominence of Nike’s famed sneaker. In total, Virgil Abloh designed 47 bespoke pairs of the Nike “Air Force 1” for the Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2022 show in collaboration with Nike.

The Air Yeezy 2 SP ‘Red October’ stands out from its two companion colorways. There’s the monochromatic scarlet finish, contrasted only by metallic gold lace tips. There’s the unique design, which sees the side panels ditch the standard anaconda texture in favor of rows upon rows of small triangular studs. Finally, there’s the chaos that surrounded the shoe’s much-delayed release.
