Your Nike x Off-White VaporMax 2018 Buying Guide

Nike and Virgil Abloh’s collaboration continues. Here’s everything you need to know about copping the duo’s latest design.

The next Off-White VaporMax is here. After dropping a hype bomb on the sneaker world back in 2017 with The Ten—a capsule collection of ten iconic sneakers made by Nike and tweaked by Off-White—Virgil Abloh is still showing no signs of slowing down. For one, the guy just got named the new creative director of Louis Vuitton menswear. (Which, yes, is as big a deal as it sounds.) As for his ongoing Nike collaboration, he's already dropped two of the most hyped sneakers of the year via an all-white version of his "incomplete" Jordan 1s, as well as a pair of black-and-silver Air Force 1s (released exclusively at MoMA). Now Abloh's new take on the Nike VaporMax—an all-black model with an icy blue sole unit—is set to hit retailers on March 30. (A white version is being released later, on April 14.)

The sneaker differs from the original Off-White VaporMax in a few ways, chief among them being that it's stealthier than the original (and already futuristic-as-hell) sneaker. The Swoosh, which was white on the first collaborative effort, is now black, which is the same for the shoe's tongue. The once stark black Air bubble has been swapped out for a more subtle icy blue version. Both new and past models do share the unmistakable Off-White orange pull tab and literal air quotes printed on the heel.

Like every other sneaker in The Ten, this Off White x Nike VaporMax sneaker won't be easy to get. It's only being released at select retailers and Nike's own e-commerce platform in extremely limited quantities. That in mind, we've compiled below every store and platform releasing the sneakers to make your chances of getting a pair the best they can be.

$250, buy March 30 at Nike and select retailers
