today we're gonna be looking at the brooklyn museum figures of speech off-white air force ones
as of right now there's no set release date but i do have some information for you guys on how you
may be able to get some pairs and i'm excited to give you guys an early look at this shoe
and if you didn't know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show on this channel i
love talking about sneakers and especially giving you guys in-depth early reviews like this and if
you can't tell from the background we're currently at untied out here in la they got some early pairs
available and i wanted to make sure that i gave you guys a nice in-depth look at this sneaker
because i know it may look like it's just simple and all green shoe but there's definitely a lot
of cool details so with all that being said before we show too much of the shoe we got to talk about
the history first we saw the first iteration of this in the nike air force one from the original
tin pack that we saw back in 2017. shortly after that we then saw the all-white leather version
that dropped at complex con and at that time the shoe was worth a little bit of money but nowhere
near what it's worth today following those two releases we then have the black pair that came out
at the moma it was really hard to get but again not a crazy crazy demand and the prices weren't
as astronomical as they are today a couple years later we then saw more and more collaborations
coming from virgil with off-white and jordan brand and nike which then caused more demand
behind all of his sneakers slowly increasing the value we then saw the blue mca air force one
which i still need to get these in my collection because these things are crazy and just when we
thought we were done with the off-white air force ones in 2019 we then saw the ica come out in 2021
i missed out on these but then i finally ended up getting a pair of my collection and yes this is a
beautiful shoe as well so now in 2022 after virgil has passed away r.i.p virgil a legend in the game
we are now seeing nike jordan brand off-white uh louis vuitton you name it there's a lot of
collaborations now being produced and we are seeing the green pair set to come out sometime
this year we don't have exact details but i do have a couple notes from the people because i
actually went to the museum a couple weeks ago i saw the entire exhibit and i talked some of the
employees because they were actually wearing the shoes while they were working but we'll get into
those details a little bit later in the video i know you guys are anxious to see the shoe so
let's go ahead and start breaking this shoe down starting with the bottom of the shoe you have your
classic air force one outsole with the light green spark right here and that's going to be the same
color all throughout the upper you have a little bit of silver on the swoosh and a little bit of
white right here but the majority of the sneaker is definitely going to be dominant in that spark
green color now going to the midsole classic when it comes to the off-white you have the
air branding right here in quotes with the air in white and then you have your classic rubber
hit right here just below that now going up to the upper you got a premium green leather on
here as well these come equipped with a pair of standard green laces to match the upper and an
additional pair of black laces to go alongside with these as well and on the end of the laces
you have shoelace in white on the green laces and then you have shoelace in green on the black lace
now when it comes to the off-white air force one one of my favorite hits on these in particular
is the swoosh you kind of got that tin foil vibe right here with the zigzag frankenstein stitch
in black all around that and then you've got a lime green tab right here classic to the off white
now going to the back end same thing right here they did the overlay over the nike air branding
on the back end on the heel and then you got your exposed foam around the ankle on the sock liner
all green on the inside of the sockliner and then you have your off-white branding on the inside of
the heels right here one with the face one with the hands another thing we can't forget to mention
as well on here you have a green mesh tongue with the exposed foam on the top and around that
and you have a hole through the center of it and then another iconic hit that we see all the time
when it comes to the air force ones you got your nike air branding with the off-white right here
and the rip stop like material and the white with the green text on here another iconic hit when it
comes to off-white and collaborations with nike and jordan brand is going to be that branding on
the inside of the foot you got your off-white with the beaverton oregon and the 1982 on both
sides of the feet right here definitely something that we see often when it comes to these two and
something that we always love to see personally i love the simple touches and i know they're kind of
getting repetitive and they're just switching out the colors but in my opinion i think they could do
the entire rainbow and do a red version a purple version a yellow version all the different colors
and have it look as super dope with the whole set of air force ones from the off-white collection
that's just how i feel you know what i'm saying i'm from portland oregon so i mean city of roses
we could if imagine an all-red version like this with the silver swoosh on it and the white text on
the side you know what i'm saying we got a museum too i mean nike is the headquarters there i mean
it only makes sense right and last but not least when it comes to signature branding as well you
have your classic off-white zip tie right here with that kind of velvet material on the top and
around the tab now based off of these pictures right here as you can see there are definitely
a lot of similarities when it comes to these three sneakers just switching up the base color of the
shoe and i definitely like that aspect obviously you got the different lace color options when it
comes to the white standard color on the blue pair but besides that the shoes definitely look
very very similar but one thing that is very different when it comes to this one is
we have a different box what we've seen in the past when it comes to the off-white air force
ones and the box and the packaging we typically get the premium sleeve air force one box on those
but this one right here is actually more similar to the silver box with the holes in it like we
saw on the first set of three off-white dunks that came out before the 50-pack dropped so in a sense
yes this is a switch up but this is something that we also have seen in the past before
and i'm not mad at it because it's always dope seeing these shiny boxes sitting in the collection
so now that you guys seen some in depths of the sneaker let's talk about resale value how hard
is it going to be where are we going to get the shoe at and comparing this shoe against the other
ones and what people think if it's fire or trash so typically when it comes to that i always like
to post a poll on my story to see how everybody else thinks about the shoes so 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 my channel basically i ask the people the simple question is issue fire or is this you trash
this is what they said 79 of the people chose fire and 21 of the people chose trash and i completely
understand it it is an all green shoe now i am a ducks fan so that is probably another reason
why i might like to shoot a little bit more but i definitely get it not everybody just wants to wear
a light spark green shoe like this just around out in the public especially with the silver swoosh
and all that stuff it may just be too much for some people completely get it but for me you know
i think the shoe is really dope and definitely it's a fire or a cop or whatever you want to call
it and something i look forward to adding to my collection someday and i'm definitely interested
to see how you guys feel as well so make sure you guys are dropping comments down below as we
go throughout this video now the next question i ask the people is which one do you guys like
more do you like the blue pair the yellow pair or the green pair and this is what they said when it
comes to the results you guys might be shocked but maybe not i don't know let's just show the results
63 of the people chose the blue pair 16 of the people chose the yellow pair and 21 of the people
chose the green pair so as of right now the green pair is ranking just a little bit higher than the
yellow pair but nowhere near the blue pair and it looks like that's everybody's favorite as of now
i'm interested to see because we also have rumors of a gray pair coming out in paris and some other
stuff that might be dropping later which we shall see if anybody knows but besides that
it's definitely a landslide when it comes to the blue pair i was expecting to see you know
maybe something around 30 and 40 percent and stuff a little bit closer to each other but
that's just honestly not even a fair fight so now when it comes to pricing this is also something
that is very interesting to check out as well when it comes to the green pair in particular now i'm
a size 13 so take that as well with a grain of salt do your own research all the other things
prices are going to vary depending on size but basically for a size 13 that shoe is going to
go somewhere around 3 500 to 3 000 depending on who you're buying it for when you're buying it
and all these different things but that's as of right now before the shoe has actually come out
which again we'll talk about the drop in a second but that's pretty high now when it comes to the
yellow pair these are going to be hidden for somewhere around 1 500 bucks in a size 13 and
honestly at the end of the day if you ask anybody who's not a sneaker head or even people that are
sneaker heads they're going to be like that's still high but relative to all the other pairs and
the collection and the pricing on all the other shoes this one's going to be your most affordable
option now when it comes to the blue pair we're looking somewhere around 2500 to 2 000 on this
pair and that is also really high as well now like i said there's always a demand when it comes to a
sneaker and people are willing to pay more when they get it early and if you you know wait for
the shoe to drop the prices start to go down they settle and then over time they start to go back
up so this is kind of the same situation with this it's settled this shoe has been out for some years
and again this is still a 2000 or 2500 sneaker and at the end of the day yes that is still a high
price point but it is crazy to see how this was a landslide but then you look at the green pair and
these are right now in particular are selling more than the blue pair and the yellow pair which is
crazy right so it's definitely always interesting to see the perspectives of the shoe game and
how things go when it comes to polls and people actually spending money and the priority getting
on sneakers that are just coming out or people trying to get it earlier stuff that came out from
the past and how hard it is to get there's a lot of different factors that may change the opinions
and the values of sneakers so that's always something to take into a perspective because
i feel like this is a great example these are literally the three same shoes yet just different
colors and probably similar quantities when it comes to the releases as well but the prices
vary so much and then i'm interested to see where the green pair falls you know a year or two years
from now if it does go under that you know maybe eighteen hundred dollars or is it gonna go down
to twelve hundred or fifteen hundred dollars or is it gonna stay at that two thousand twenty five
hundred dollars or even go you know three thousand four thousand dollars we shall see in time i don't
know let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section so now when it comes to the
actual release of this sneaker i was at the museum like i said earlier i was there a couple weeks ago
and i spoke to the employees that were working there the people that we saw that were wearing
the shoes on the site those were the security guards and the staff that worked for the museum
they were all under contract now the museum is going to be open for the figures of speech
from i think it was july until january sometime around there you can look up the exact dates but
basically it's pretty much open for around a six month window and then from there they're saying
that they're supposed to be released this month and we've been hearing things about us getting
pushed back and all these other things i talked to the ladies she told me that they had 200 pairs
at the museum but typically when you do the sneakers app drop like you have to be at the
location and then you hit on the app and then they ship the shoes to your house and typically
it's from another warehouse in a different location not even actually where that museum is
but i heard that they were dropping 200 pairs at the museum so there might be a sneakers app type
thing that goes from a separate warehouse and then you have pairs that go actually at the museum and
then other pairs that go to different stores and different things like that when it comes to the
other retailers that may get the shoes throughout the nation or different places in the world so
there's a lot of different things that are kind of in that gray area up in the air but one thing that
i can guarantee is the brooklyn museum is going to be a place to be over hopefully you know you
can get lucky and be there at the right time or if you know somebody that's going to tell you the
exact drop date or whatever's going on but that's gonna be the number one guaranteed source that
everybody's gonna have their eyeballs on right now and then like we saw with the yellow pair
that pair dropped at the ica and then about a week later or so i forgot i don't remember if it was a
week later or a couple weeks later they ended up doing a restock and they put them on sneakers app
and dropped them to the public so that was another option as well so i think once we see the drop at
the actual museum plus the stores that may have got them and all those different things
now we're talking about that's going to set the tone and then from there we'll look out and try
to give you guys more information when it comes to the extra restocks that may go to sneakers app
or something like that so that's all the details that i have for right now there are going to be
other retailers and people that do get the shoes as well this is a very limited sneaker there's
probably like thousands of pairs not hundreds of thousands of pairs so with that being said there's
going to be a lot of people you know doubling up tripling up different things like that it's going
to be hard to get and that's another reason why you see a crazy price point like that on a sneaker
like this so hopefully that gives you guys good information and good detail to look at the shoe
the comparisons all the stuff that you guys need to know and again if you are ever in la make sure
