Off-White’s Trail-Inspired Nike Air Terra Forma Returns Soon

The life and times of Virgil Abloh have been well-documented by both the man himself and countless fans, friends, and business partners.

Although the Off-White frontman is no longer physically alive, his presence continues to be felt, seen, and spoken about across various mediums.

As Art Basel Miami Beach commences, two more pairs of the Nike Air Terra Forma sneaker by Abloh have been promised by the brand.

In December 2022, the chunky, trail-inspired silhouette was officially unveiled at the posthumous “Virgil Abloh: The Codes c/o Architecture” exhibit in Miami.

The installation revealed some unreleased product between the Illinois native and his Nike, Inc. family. Fans understandably clamored on about some of the familiar Nike Sportswear and Air Jordan samples displayed, raising an eyebrow or two at the bold Air Terra Forma.

As Abloh’s only entirely new design for the Swoosh conglomerate, the sneaker marked a special moment for the brand’s longtime followers.

All of Off-White’s signature details – zip ties, Helvetica text on the lateral profile – appeared on the silhouette, bringing some familiarity to the exaggerated trail-informed sneaker-boot hybrid.

While far from Abloh’s most wearable creation, Off White’s Air Terra Forma demonstrated the designer’s imagination, as well as Nike’s full backing of him. He didn’t get a chance to see the sneaker hit retailers as he passed a year before the shoes were released.

Two years after Abloh’s untimely passing, the shoe is back. Neither Nike, Inc. nor Virgil Abloh’s Estate have shared details about the unreleased styles, although retailers overseas currently have “Mantra Orange” and “Archaeo Brown” sequels scheduled for a drop on December 21st.

The upcoming pairs have also surfaced via official photos, sharing a peek inside the beautiful mind of Virgil Abloh. As with their predecessors, the next Off-White Terra Forma pairs are unmistakably “Virgil”, and proof that his legacy lives on.


Enjoy detailed shots of the pairs ahead. The Nike Air Terra Forma is priced at $250 USD.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
