[Update 4 Jan 2023] Off-White site Canary Yellow has seemingly given us confirmation of the imminent release of the Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Ghost Grey” via a retweet of a leak.

Canary Yellow included the emojis “” in the retweet, pointing towards a Paris or France-exclusive release. The “Ghost Grey” is the highly-anticipated sequel to previous editions of city-specific Off-White AF1 Lows like the Brooklyn-exclusive “Light Green Spark” and Chicago’s “University Blue”.

As of now, the Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Ghost Grey” is expected to drop in Spring 2023 at US$160.

[Update 8 Aug 2022] We’ve finally got closer looks at a proper visual representative of the Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Ghost Grey”! Based on what we see, the sneaker is to retain the same silhouette and silver Swoosh of its predecessor, “Light Green Spark”, with the exception of colour – instead of bright green, a dark “Ghost Grey” covers the entire upper. White laces and inner lining provide another colour contrast to the design, and the black Abloh zip-tie matches the “AIR” quotations on the midsole. Based on this rep, the only break from the monochrome colour palette is a red tag attached to the bottom of the Swoosh. Besides colourway design, sources are also confirming that “Ghost Grey” is expected to release in Paris by late 2022 at earliest, up to early 2023 at latest. (Photo courtesy of @jfgrails)

While the official release date of the Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Light Green Spark” remains elusive, rumours of another colourway, unofficially dubbed “Ghost Grey”, have surfaced online. Primarily based upon a mockup of the grey addition to the lineup, analysis shows almost no differences compared to its green predecessor… Until you realise the mockups are simply the original “Light Green Spark” images with a monochromatic filter placed over them. We’ve taken the liberty to do the same for other angled shots of the sneaker.

What’s the point? Simply that excruciatingly little is known about this new colourway. “Ghost Grey” (if it even is to be named that) might feature the same silver foil stitched Swoosh, Abloh’s iconic zip-ties, and Off-White’s satirical quotations labelling obvious parts of the shoe, all in monochrome greys and whites. On the other hand, the luxury creative could opt to completely swap up the colourway by inverting colours and exchanging materials. All we currently have is speculation based on the known colourway.

When few facts are available, one must ask: what should we expect? Most sources state that contrary to the wider release of “Light Green Spark”, this grey colourway is expected to (initially) be a Paris-exclusive drop. The green AF1s are highly likely to undergo a lottery release very soon, so the younger grey sibling could drop as early as within the next couple of months, but if not, early 2023 is a good guess. Stay tuned for more updates on both Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Light Green Spark” and “(Ghost) Grey”!
