Virgil Abloh is constantly giving us something to talk about with his unique takes on Nike products. We’ve seen him put Serena Williams in a custom Off-White leather jacket and tutu so we always know there’s more. In his recent Off-White runway show in Paris, Abloh tapped real track and field athletes to model the collection that was inspired by the energy of sport.

“Sport, like fashion, shares a common language that seeks to unite cultures, break down barriers and celebrate the power of the human spirit,” says Abloh. “This season, I was inspired by the voice of the athlete and the power of sport to impact positive and transformative change globally.”

Not only were the clothing pieces on edge and featured Nike swooshes everywhere we also got beautiful tulle gowns that looked like they were made just for the runway. But, it wasn’t a show full of Nike without some footwear. The sneakers featured on the runway ranged from the Nike Zoom Vaporfly Elite Flyprint, Nike Zoom Fly SP "The Ten," Nike Zoom Fly Flyknit and two conceptual designs based on the Zoom Fly and Waffle Racer silhouettes.

We're not sure if these will be hitting the market for the general public but just in case they do, we'll be talking about it. Are you a fan of Virgil's new designs?
