so i just got these in the mail and this is the university gold off-white nike air force one and
i'm telling you right now i am excited to check this shoe out break down the styles cut some
materials go over the history and all those fancy things so let's go ahead and get into it and if
you didn't know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show so like typical's fashion we always
start with the history first but we need to get the shoes out the box just to see what they look
like on our first impression so starting with the box you have your premium air force one box
now typically you're gonna get a gray air force one box but these ones right here when you get
the premium vibes you got the all-white vibe with the slide-out lid right here and then you
got your metallic e force right here on the top with the air force one logo here in the middle
of the seat now going to the size tag it reads air force 107 off-white university gold size 13
just for me retail 150 bucks which is gonna be crazy when we talk about price at the end of
the video because i'm telling you right now these things are hitting for way more i'm talking about
damn near 10 times the value of the retail price so pulling up in the box right here you have your
force paper and then you got the shoe oh you got the shoe okay first impressions of this sneaker
the materials don't feel bad i like the colorway i'm gonna give these just off of initial just
impression of the shoe i'm gonna give these a solid eight and a half out of ten now before we
start breaking down the materials and everything like that you know we got to talk about history so
let's get into that this shoe in particular is the ica off-white air force one but this
colorway is directly related to the boston art museum and that's why they came up with the ica
because that's the name of the art museum now the ones that we have seen in the past when it
comes to the black ones the moma or the blue the mca those are also related to art museums
in different cities as well and then you can't forget to mention the original one that looks
like this and that's the complex con off-white air force one i had a chance to buy those for retail
i passed up on them when i had the chance and i'm still kicking myself to this day but that's okay
though it's okay i got these and i'm happy so when you look at it now over the past few years we have
seen the white pair the black pair the blue pair and now the yellow pair releasing and my question
is are they going to continue to do this with this sneaker all they're doing is taking the same exact
cuts and everything like that and just switching the color and making it all dominate one other
color so i think if they did this for you know the portland museum saying that this is the home
of nike maybe they did an all red version because this is a city of roses you kind of get where i'm
going i'm not saying that it's gonna happen i wish that it did i don't think that it will
but it only makes sense in my eyes saying that i'm a native of portland and we're from where the
headquarters of nike is so i mean they're willing to do it in other cities why wouldn't they do it
here but you get where i'm going right i think that they potentially have a chance of doing this
at other art museums around the country so we could potentially see other colorways drop over
time and this may not be the last one every time there's a new one we never know that there's a new
one coming out until the time happens so i'm kind of being optimistic here and hoping and thinking
that they're gonna do more of these and kind of create a different pack of you know different
colors they've done blue they haven't done green or purple or red or you know what i'm saying so
they might have other options for different art museums around the country so i'm excited to see
what off-white does with that because honestly i do look forward to trying to complete this
pack this is actually the first one that i have of the four so i'm just getting started but don't be
surprised if you see me getting them over time so now let's break down the styles cuts and materials
of the sneaker and then let's go over the rarity and the price and everything like that a little
bit after also two shoes that i will be using in today's comparison are going to be your classic
all-white air force one we're going to use this in comparison for styles cuts and materials as
well as the styles and cuts and materials of the off-white volt air force one because this is the
off-white air force one and it had a completely different approach when it comes to materials
the cuts and how they went about constructing this sneaker there are some similarities but definitely
a lot of differences and then obviously this is the base model that everything derived from
so we have to mention this one as well starting with the outsole you have your classic air force
one outsole just your all over university gold vibes now going up to the midsole you have your
same color here with your air on the back end of the heel and then you have a big error here in
black with the parentheses around that going to the upper filling the materials and everything
like that this definitely feels a lot more premium than your typical air force one that you would buy
for retail when it comes to the all-white air force one hopefully you can see the difference
between the cuts a little bit of the shape and overall materials when you see these side-by-side
here with the all-white air force ones another thing that off-white is very famous for is the
zigzag stitch that we see all around the swoosh right here you got your metallic silver swoosh
and you have your little orange tag hanging off the back end right here on the back side
this gives you that deconstructed reconstructed type of element to it that they have the swoosh
on there but it's not all the way on there i do like those elements with the off-white
but at the same time it's hard to lose when you're just taking a very classic and iconic model
and then just adding a small twist to it like that now going to the back end of the sneaker typically
you have your end tab right here on the heel and you have your nike air which it is their stitched
but they have another tab that goes actually over it all the way to the top end compared to your og
style where you just have a thinner tab right here with the leather strip you can't see the stitching
and then it stops directly underneath the piece of leather that you have right here on the cap on the
back end of the heel so as you can see from those side-by-side photos as well very similar yet just
a little bit different and when it comes to the vault air force one these ones are actually way
different than the other ones there's no line in between it you have some text right here typically
this is the style code number and the information about the sneaker that goes on the inside of the
foot but they actually put it here on the back end of the heel and then they have a flip tab
right here with the suede and it says logo with a swoosh compared to your typical nike air that you
would get but on these as well you have your same air on the side and your same type of stitching
on the swoosh now going to the collar and the insole and the tongue and everything like that
you definitely have a lot more deconstructed vibes with the nylon tongue right here leather on the
bottom half and then you have your deconstructed foam right here sticking out and they say this
is supposed to yellow over time and age so people are assuming that this white foam is going to look
yellow and actually somewhat similar to the upper color that it is right here on the shoe so i'm
excited to see what happens over time obviously i love when my shoes look super fresh but if it's
meant to do it it's meant to do it so i'm looking forward to see what it looks like i don't know if
it's gonna take a year two years five years ten years we shall see now when it comes to lacing
these have a premium set of all yellow laces and an additional set of black laces now going to the
insoles you have all yellow insole all yellow sock liner you have a nike with the off-white
logo here on the right foot and the same thing on the left foot and another difference between
this pair compared to all the other off-white collaborations these have a velvet type tab right
here in all yellow around the lock area and then the whole tab is covered in velvet so typically we
just see a plastic piece as you can see these ones come with a baby blue one it's a plastic piece and
it has the information and everything like that no velvet vibes on here so that's another small
difference that's between these two and another thing that i'm sure you guys can all see you come
with different laces definitely have a different type of tongue material here on the upper it's
a lot more stiff with this material that you have on the upper on the entire shoe everything's just
a little bit different but obviously you can tell it's an off-white type of collaboration but that
draws my next question which style when it comes to materials and everything because we've seen
this done in vault and in black and in white and then we've seen this done in blue black and white
and yellow so which uh which style of materials do you like more when it comes to the off-white
air force ones so now let's talk about rarity opinions and what everybody else thinks about
the shoe and all those other fancy things this shoe in particular only came out in boston and
it was very very rare super limited hard to get and then after that everybody tried
to get it on sneakers app which was basically impossible they did a shock drop and i didn't
see that many people hit but i did don't get me wrong i did see people hit but at the same time
this shoe is gonna be hard to find especially for a really good deal these are currently going for
around 1300 or 1400 bucks in a size 13. they were going for more the price has dropped down just a
little bit and settled i think they were like 1700 or 2 000 originally or something like that i don't
think it's going to go down that much more i think this shoe is definitely going to be highly valued
just like all other off-white collaborations next thing you know you wait and give it some time the
shoe goes up and it's damn near double or triple what it was back in the day so i could definitely
see why this could be a 2500 shoe let me know what you think the value of this sneaker would be maybe
a year or two years from now now when it comes to seeing if this sneaker is fire or trash i'm
definitely interested to see what the people have to say if you haven't already make sure you follow
me on ig so you can participate in the polls and see all the results here on the channel 90 of the
people chose fire and 10 of the people chose trash and yes everybody's not gonna like every
single sneaker i completely understand it if you don't like the shoe let me know why you don't like
the shoe i would love to hear your perspective and if you do like the shoe let me know why you
love the shoe as well and one thing to mention i wasn't able to hit these on sneakers app i didn't
