Virgil Abloh Really Is Dropping 50 Colorways of the Same Sneaker

Visit the original post to see all 8 images from this gallery.

All 50 colorways from Virgil Abloh and Nike’s “Dear Summer” collection are being teased on SNKRS for the first time today, giving us a complete look at all 50 colorways. The overwhelming majority — 49 of 50 to be exact — boast a white and gray color scheme, while the final pair emerges in black with a metallic Swoosh.

Users can swipe through a story on the SNKRS app that teases all colorways from the collection via videos and stills. The Dunks are individually numbered and broken down into two material combinations: “Leather/Canvas” and “Hairy Suede/Leather.”

As mentioned previously, almost all colorways feature the same white and gray color blocking, where white canvas or leather makes up the base, while gray paneling in either hairy suede or leather completes the largely muted look. Vibrant accents on the extra, trail-inspired lacing provide pops of color to the collection, as Abloh’s signature design elements tie the collab to his previous Off-White™ x Nike projects.

Having been teased for weeks — most recently on billboards throughout various cities — the Off-White™ x Nike Dunk Low “Dear Summer” collection is easily Virgil’s most ambitious project with the Swoosh to date. Their collaborative partnership began with 10 sneakers in 2017 and will culminate with nearly 100 pairs once the 50 are released.

Nike has still yet to share release information for the “Dear Summer” Dunks, but per the SNKRS post, more details will be coming soon. In the meantime, you can check out our beginner’s guide to the Off-White™ x Nike partnership.
