Virgil Abloh is expanding on his collaborations with Nike Sportswear. This time Virgil Abloh will be teaming up with MoMA (Museum of Modern Art), designed by Yoshio Taniguchi located in Midtown Manhattan in New York City, for an upcoming Nike Air Force 1 project. For this pair they come dressed in Black and Metallic Silver. Not really sure how MoMA plays its part on the design aspect, but the shoe ties itself to the Museum of Modern Art on its box label.
