Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low “MCA” – CI1173-400
The Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low “MCA” is one of the rarest grails in Virgil Abloh’s collaborative catalog. Released in June 2019 to celebrate Abloh’s first solo exhibition, “Figures of Speech,” at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, this edition was produced in extremely limited quantities and distributed primarily through exclusive raffles and surprise drops in Chicago .

Why the Air Force 1 Low “MCA”
The “MCA” holds a unique place in Abloh’s Nike timeline. Unlike “The Ten” releases, which used a deconstructed leather build, the MCA utilizes the same premium leather construction seen on the “ComplexCon” and “MoMA” exclusives, applying Abloh’s design language to a more traditional Air Force 1 base . The result is a sneaker that feels both archival and disruptive—a classic silhouette transformed by a single, bold color choice and the signature Off-White details.
What makes the “MCA” especially desirable is its distribution. The first pair was gifted to Serena Williams, and the remaining pairs were made available to the public through super-exclusive raffles and a SNKRS Stash drop in Chicago . It was never a wide release, and it remains one of the hardest Off-White x Nike sneakers to obtain. For collectors, the CI1173-400 represents a specific moment in Abloh’s career—the point at which his collaborations became institutional, narrative-driven, and genuinely scarce.
