Nike Air Force 1 Low Off-White ICA University Gold
The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Off-White ICA University Gold” is a rare conceptual sample tied to the design language of Nike x Off-White ICA series, which explored the idea of turning everyday footwear into deconstructed art pieces.
The shoe is built on the classic Air Force 1 Low silhouette, but reworked through Off-White’s signature design approach. The upper is dressed in a bold University Gold tone, giving the sneaker a bright, museum-like presence that reflects the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art) theme connected to the collaboration. This color choice pushes the shoe beyond standard streetwear palettes and into a more art-exhibit-inspired direction.
Typical Off-White design elements appear throughout the concept, including exposed construction cues, industrial-style branding, and text-based detailing, which reinterpret the AF1 as a “deconstructed” object rather than a traditional sneaker. These details emphasize the idea of the shoe as wearable design art.
The ICA series overall was created to connect sneakers with the art world, and this University Gold version represents that bridge between high fashion, contemporary art spaces, and Nike’s heritage basketball silhouette.
