The OFF-WHITE Spring/Summer 2019 collection took on the runways of Paris Fashion Week recently and it is full of streetwear goods designed from a track-themed perspective. Supermodels such as Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner strutted down the runway in the pieces alongside track stars Dina Asher-Smith and Katarina Johnson-Thompsonan, perfectly blending street fashion with track apparel.
Some of the footwear options include what looks like a new iteration of the Nike Waffle Racer that boasts deconstructed design elements and the Abloh x Nike Air Vapormaxes, to name a few. Another standout piece from the capsule is the in-house CST-001 shoe that has a high-top cut and all-around strapped closure and branding details through the soles.
