Mixed Vibes for Serena Williams' Met Gala Off-White x Nike Sneakers
The GOAT does what she wants! Serena Williams turned up to the 2019 Met Gala sporting a pair of Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘Volt’, and the reception was, well, mixed...
Naturally, the sneakersphere were quick to give the 23-time Grand Slam winner props for the vibrant creps, which matched the OTT appliqués and colours on her Versace dress.

Serena bossed her duties as co-chair of the event, which carried the theme ‘Camp: Notes on Fashion’. However, despite her starring role, not everyone was feeling the casual chic.
I will never forgive Virgil for putting a whole goddess like Serena Williams in this monstrosity AND sneakers at the same time #MetGala pic.twitter.com/VpDb0lhWfJ
