Dubbed the Consul Meteor, the black calf leather oxford shoe dropped in stores. Notably, it features cut-out holes throughout its upper, including one sizable one across its officiel cap-toe detail. (Think of it as a stylish way to stay cool this summer.) Abloh conceived of the motif for his own label, Off-White, and first used it to punch holes into handbags. It's meant to mirror the craters left behind after meteor showers.
The shoelaces are also labeled “Shoelaces”—another Off-White signature that appeared on designs for his coveted sneaker collaborations with Nike throughout the years.
Otherwise, the shoes are made in Church's classic English style. The laceups feature a Goodyear construction, a leather sole and interior leather lining. The insole is emblazoned with a special-edition Off-White c/o Church's logo that shows the shoemaker's name surrounded by hand figures, another Albloh touch. The design also appears on the sole of the shoes.
Off-White and Churchs present a contemporary take on the classic Oxford with these shoes. Crafted from leather to a sleek silhouette, they are finished with signature Meteor holes and the iconic Zip-Tie tag for a twist on a timeless design.
