It was probably one of the year's worst kept sneaker secrets but the hype is certainly at an all-time high. After months and months of leaks, speculation, and teasers, Virgil Abloh has officially confirmed that the Off-White x Nike Dunk Low "THE 50" is in the works.

Taking to his official Instagram page, he uploaded some shots of a never-before-seen shoe box that was done up in the classic Off-White x Nike style. With taped corners, a scribbled Nike Swoosh, and a plethora of holes throughout which harken back to his Air Jordan 5 collaboration, the biggest feature here is the chart on the side that showcases a lot of 50 numbers.

"@off____white™ c/o @nike, summer ©2021 collection name is “Dear Summer”... it’s a whole thing..." wrote the Off-White designer in the caption. "it was ©2017 i started drawing on those 10 Nike shoes. in my mind they are not literal shoes, but are more like sculptures a full-on art object made in multiple editions, somewhat scarce. they exist in a space all their own. where the plot thickens on the design side is the portal to tell stories as vivid as a HOV triple entendre or a Jeezy ad-lib..."

There is no doubt in anyone's mind that the "Dear Summer" Collection will transform the sneaker landscape once again. 2017's "THE TEN" was Abloh's debut into the world of sneaker collaborations and the game hasn't been the same since. Pairs like the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 "Chicago" continue to sell for £1000s even four years later, and that is no easy feat.
