Virgil Abloh is all about giving back. After the announcement of a new book earlier today — inspired and informed by his “Insert Complicated Title Here” lecture at Harvard last year — Abloh offers up essential goodwill by gifting his former high school OFF WHITE x Nike Jerseys.
The Boylan Catholic Titan’s were rewarded one-of-a-kind kits from Abloh both as a gift and a show of love to his alma mater. “This is for you all. I was once in the same green and white uniform,” Abloh said in a message. “Enjoy CD7005 Off-White jerseys. Once a Titan always a Titan.”

The boys team received a checkerboard printed jersey finished with OFF WHITE branding in orange. In addition, the young ladies were gifted a kit essential likened to Abloh’s OFF WHITE x Nike Mercurial design, covered in blue dots overlaying a white base with orange accents. Both boys and girls teams also received bags of Nike gear that included new cleats, chin guards, socks, and shorts.
Abloh, of course, has essential soccer themed releases forthcoming with his collaborative Zoom Fly Mercurial Flyknit sneakers. His OFF WHITE x Nike Mercurial sneakers released back in March.
