It's probably no exaggeration to speak of a milestone in sneaker history: what is meant is the run on the shoes of the Nike x Off-White cooperation and their "The Ten" collection. It was almost impossible to get just one pair of the series through normal ordering. The same applies to the Converse x Off-White cooperation product in May. Online registration or waiting for hours were the only ways to get possession of the shoes.

That is about to change. Off-White simply released a new pair of sneakers itself - independently of the cooperation partner Nike. The model is called "Low 2.0" and looks confusingly similar to the Nike counterparts. The new owner could therefore get envious looks from sneaker fans just as much as with the hyped “original”.

The silhouette of the shoes in black or white suede is reminiscent of retro tennis sneakers, paired with details that are typical of designer Virgil Abloh. These include the iconic red cable tie, the word "Shoelace" on the laces and another lettering on the sole. In this case it is "Helvetica" instead of "Air".
What the hyped shoes from "The Ten" collection don't have, you can discover on the back of the new Off-White sneakers: The lettering "Left" and "Right" are emblazoned on the upper shaft. To the right". Plus the Off-White logo in the middle of the shoe. The "Low 2.0" was produced in Italy - that's why buyers can expect high quality from this creation, but also dig deep into their pockets,
But where can you buy the "Low 2.0": Instead of queuing for hours and then not being able to take a pair home with you, you can easily order these sneakers online. The online shop Mr. Porter, for example, has the Off-White "Low 2.0" in its range: in white and black versions and even in different sizes. The price: 415 euros. The shoes have also been sighted on Ebay, but often at an even higher price. At Off-White itself, the sneakers are already sold out. Therefore: It's best to strike now, we warned you!
