"Out Of Office" Red Sneakers

A pair of Off-White's "Out of Office" sneakers, the low-top silhouette Virgil Abloh designed as part of his ongoing dialogue with the codes of mainstream sneaker culture before his death in late 2021. Built in white calf leather with bold red leather paneling at the toe box, heel counter, and the brand's signature arrow logo across the lateral panel. The shoe carries the full Off-White industrial vocabulary throughout — the rubber sole stamped with the brand's familiar text, the laces threaded with the white "SHOELACES" zip-tie tag, the red ankle collar lining, and Abloh's characteristic use of quotation-marked text as a graphic device.
