Vulc Low Sneakers | 46

A pair of Off-White's Vulc Sneakers — Virgil Abloh's interpretation of the classic vulcanized-sole skate shoe, run through the brand's industrial-design vocabulary. Built in textured white leather with a black vulcanized rubber sole, the silhouette draws from the heritage of court and skate footwear before Abloh stamped it with the visual language that defined his Off-White: the brand's distinctive address text — Off-White c/o Virgil Abloh, 13 Via Manin, Milan, Italy — printed across the medial panel beneath a red painted bar, the signature red zip-tie loop attached at the heel, and the black-and-white diagonal stripe motif running across the heel counter, the industrial-warning graphic Abloh used as a through-line across his Nike collaborations and the wider Off-White catalog.
