The recent opening of Off-White in NUSTAR Resort and Casino on Feb. 17, 2024 has been followed by another significant event for the local fashion scene: the launch of the archival Off-White x Nike Sneaker, the “Air Force 1.” This addition enhances NUSTAR Cebu’s growing reputation as a destination for exclusive fashion releases.
Latest trend
The release of the Off-White x Nike “Air Force 1” aligns with the global trend of blending high fashion with streetwear, a concept that the late Virgil Abloh championed. Originally released in 2017, this sneaker combines the classic design of Nike’s Air Force 1 with the distinct Off-White aesthetic, offering a unique piece for sneaker enthusiasts and followers of Abloh’s work.
Notably, NUSTAR Cebu now houses two rare collaboration shoes, with the Off-White x Nike “Air Force 1” joining the previously released Louis Vuitton Nike Air Force 1 by Virgil Abloh. This presents a unique opportunity for aficionados in the region to experience these exclusive designs firsthand.
Community impact
The presence of these sneakers at NUSTAR Cebu reflects the resort’s expanding focus on luxury and lifestyle brands, catering to a diverse clientele that appreciates high-end fashion and collectible items. It’s an indication of the Philippines’ increasing role in the global fashion dialogue, particularly in the realm of luxury streetwear.
The launch of the Off-White x Nike “Air Force 1” at NUSTAR is a noteworthy development for the local fashion community. It underscores the evolving landscape where international brands and designers find an enthusiastic market.
For those interested in the intersections of fashion, culture and design, NUSTAR Cebu is steadily establishing itself as a location worth attention, albeit in a more subtle manner than traditional fashion capitals.
As NUSTAR continues to diversify its offerings, events like the Off-White x Nike “Air Force 1” launch represent a growing trend of exclusive and high-profile releases occurring in the region, bringing a touch of global fashion trends to the local scene.
