SPECIAL DELIVERY: Why Nike’s Off-White “Dear Summer” collection was so disappointing

Virgil Abloh is not only one of the best designers at Nike — he’s one of the best designers in the world.

He’s the artistic director at Louis Vuitton, he gave us Off-White and he gave us an absolute hit collection of sneakers with “The Ten” at Nike. That’s the thing that really started it all for him.

So, of course, the bar is high for Virgil. And that’s why so many are disappointed with his latest collection “Dear Summer” collection with Nike.

There were 50 pairs of Dunks that were almost exclusively the same colors with a few variations on accessories between them. And that’s just not good enough for a Virgil Abloh project.

Sykes and the crew explain why it was so disappointing in this week’s episode of Special Delivery. You don’t want to miss this.
