Off-White™ Fall/Winter 2023 saw IB Kamara make his creative directorial debut with his “Lunar Delivery” collection of outerwear crafted with zippers and hardware, distressed knits, and UFO-style eyewear. And much like the clothes, Ib Kamara’s Off-White™ FW23 footwear is, too, also out of this world.
We got up close and personal with Off-White™’s FW23 footwear, which land with innovative finishes and space-age-focused paint jobs. It’s a step into the new chapter of Off-White™, if you will.

At the same time, futuristic design details and unique protrusions are reminiscent of a spaceship’s design almost, further reiterating the collection’s sci-fi tones.
Then, for the finale, the Off-White™ “Glove” finishes off with a branded strap overlapping the toe box, followed by a hard-to-miss extra-thick sole.
See, the elevated, chunky base pretty much informs footwear, also surfacing on the collection’s hiking-focused boots and a pull-on sneaker.
Indeed, Off-White hops on the gaiter wave with ‘s Cross Lows and , issuing its own shoe equipped with an adjustable vamp.
With a thick, athletic-focused bottom like the Glove, Off-White™’s gaiter shoe arrives in a host of schemes from monochromatic gold to the earthy mashups mirroring a crash landing on Mars (or in Kamara’s case, a harkening back to his beginnings in West Africa).
Houston, I think we might have the next label’s next Out of Office on our hands. In short, we could be looking at the brand’s next classic.
