Virgil Abloh Gifted Chance the Rapper a Pair of Custom Air Jordan 1s

Words By Lia McGarrigle

Virgil Abloh took to Twitter yesterday to show off a pair of custom Virgil Abloh x Nike Air Jordan 1s made specifically for Chance the Rapper.

Taking us back to High School-style customizations, Virgil wrote on the midsoles of the sneaker with a black Sharpie, writing  LIL “AIR” CHANO on one and VIRGIL © 2017 on the other. The designer wrote "79th" in the caption, referencing Chance's Chicago neighborhood.

While you may not get your hands on a friends and family custom, you can still sign up to "The Ten" presale registration to increase your chances of owning one of the collab sneakers.

Now, read four reasons why Virgil Abloh is the perfect collaborator for Nike.
