A few days ago, Nike Football and Off-White officially presented the “Football, Mon Amour” collection dedicated to the 2018 World Cup. As stated by Virgil Abloh himself, it has been a chance for him to go back to his football origins, when he used to play with his High School teammates. And what could possibly be more OG than the first football ever realized by Nike? In fact, the Swoosh and Off-White have presented the Nike x Off-White Magia Match Ball, the official ball of the collabo.
The design is based on the one of the first football ever realized by Nike back in 1984, with black pentagonal panels and white trapezoidal ones that create a very familiar pattern for whoever has loved the beautiful game from the earlier days of life. On some pentagons, there’s Nike branding - also with a vintage effect - while on others there’s the “Official size & weight 5. Approved by Off-White™” writing. The ball will be sold with a customized holder with the Swoosh and Virgil Abloh’s mark, with dedicated packaging that recalls the aesthetic of the collection.
