Andrew Rizzo The biggest sneaker story of October 2025 isn’t even a sneaker release. Nike and the Virgil Abloh Archive have launched an exhibition called Virgil Abloh: The Codes in Paris, showcasing an extensive lineup of sneaker samples the late designer created before his untimely passing. The event runs from today, September 30th, through October 9th — meaning you can expect to see us break down some of the highlights during that time frame.
Here we have a green colorway of Virgil’s extraordinarily sought-after Air Force 1 style, closely resembling a sample that surfaced back in 2022. However, there are some notable changes. While the 2022 version was touted as an Off-White collaboration and featured silver “Off-White for Nike” text on the medial side, this newly surfaced pair swaps in “V.A.A. for Nike” in gold. The hangtag includes the year 2025, but no public release has been announced as of this writing, strongly suggesting this pair is a friends-and-family exclusive.
We recently broke down a whole slew of unreleased Air Force 1s and Jordans on display at The Codes, but unlike this green AF1, those sneakers all appear to be true archive pulls created directly by the man himself. We’ve also been tracking a Virgil Abloh Air Force 1 “Sesame” expected to release sometime in 2025.
Stick with us as we continue to unpack unreleased Virgil Abloh x Nike, Inc. footwear over the coming weeks as The Codes rolls on.
