HE LIVES!

VIRGIL ABLOH CONTINUED HIS LEGACY and mark on the fashion world through the upcoming release of the Louis Vuitton and Nike Air Force 1" lineup series. First introduced to the world in June 2021 as part of the luxury house's Men's Spring-Summer 2022 Collection, nine editions of the sneaker will be launched globally this June.

What To Expect Of The Launch

With the collection going global in June 2022, pre-orders will first be made available to Maison's community in the weeks leading up to the much-anticipated release in Louis Vuitton retail worldwide, complete with an inclusive digital activation.

Each sneaker is crafted with the Maison's finest leather and materials from the Maison's Manufacture in Fiesso d'Artico, Venice, Italy. The designs are translations of Abloh's distinctive visual language, combined with the sneaker's iconic codes and the insignia of Louis Vuitton to create nine editions of what many consider to be a symbol for sneakerheads.

The nine editions selected for Louis Vuitton in-store release cover mid-tops and low-tops, and will be made available in Nike sizes ranging from 3.5 to 18.
