Recapping Every Unreleased Off-White x Nike Leak
If we’re to believe the dark and musty corner of the internet occupied by sneaker leakers, the end of 2018 is going to be big for Off-White Nikes. After ‘The Ten’ dropped in 2017, leaks came thick and fast, saturating our newsfeeds with zip-tied renders and mock-ups for months on end.
Not all leaks are made equal. A number of designs didn’t arrive when their nebulous release dates did, likely because they were wiped from Nike’s schedule or never existed in the first place. Then there have been the leaks that have turned out to be samples. In short, it gets messy. So, in the lead-up to a season of (Off) white-hot flames, we’ve trawled the most reliable channels to collate which of the unreleased Off-White Nike leaks are still slated to hit shelves.
(Note: Nike are the only ones who have the last word here. Don’t complain if you sell your kidney’s for a release that gets scrapped)
OFF-WHITE x NIKE WAFFLE RACER WOMEN'S PACK
Rumoured release: May 2019. Leaded by Py_rates in September, this unseen pack is rumoured to feature three women's Waffle Racers: one in ‘Black/Fuchsia/White’, one in ‘White/Electric Green/Black’ and another in ‘Vivid Sky/Black/Electric Green’.
OFF-WHITE x AIR JORDAN 1 INFANTS 'UNC'
Rumoured Release: TBC, although these pairs were shared by SoleFly founder, Carlos Prieto, so stores may have inventory stocked.
POSSIBLES
While all signs point to the Off-White leaks above hitting shelves, there are many with uncertain futures. Serena Williams' 'Day' and 'Night' NikeCourt Flare 2s are 100 per cent legit, but their 'Player Exclusive' status means they're unlikely to hit shelves. Other stragglers look to be samples or benched designs — these are the leaks with foggier release statuses than normal.
OFF-WHITE x NIKE BLAZER 'PALE VANILLA'
Status: Leaked in March and meant to release in July. A similar pair was produced, and was seen alongside the 'Grim Reaper' that dropped on October 3.
OFF-WHITE x NIKECOURT FLARE 2 SERENA WILLIAMS PE 'DAY'
STATUS: Nike SNKRS report that Serena's Off-White NikeCourt Flare 2s are Player Exclusives, but history tells us that PEs can still find their way onto shelves.
OFF-WHITE x NIKECOURT FLARE 2 SERENA WILLIAMS PE 'NIGHT'
STATUS: Same as above — their PE title would usually mean they're made only for Serena, but we're hoping Nike bend the rules.
