Off-White™ And Church’s Presents The New Off-White™ C/O Church’s Capsule Collection: The Consul Meteor

Off-White™ and Church’s announced the arrival of the second Off-White™ c/o Church’s capsule collection, designed by Virgil Abloh. The second iteration of the genderless capsule collection continues to celebrate the progressive ethos central to Virgil Abloh’s ‘Question Everything’ philosophy with the artisan tradition and stylistic history of the British footwear brand.

Phase two of Off-White™ c/o Church’s brings attention on another iconic model of the British brand: the Consul. This time the classic Off-White “Meteor” detailing is the design focus, incorporating circular holes throughout the body of the shoe, offering a modern silhouette perfect for summer dressing.

Elevated evolution of the “Meteor Shower” premise envisioned by Virgil Abloh, the iconic signature circular cutouts, which recall both Swiss cheese holes and meteor shower craters, evolve and are imagined in more luxurious materials and voluminous shapes.

Made on last 173, this shoe dates back to 1945 and owes its name to the English ambassadors and politicians who wore it, which soon became a distinctive symbol of the British high aristocracy of the time. The Meteor Consult keeps intact the characteristics of this incredible Oxford style, made of black calfskin, finely brushed and polished. Featuring large holes in the upper and finished with a trademark Off-White ™ hangtag and laces.

The Consul Meteor is on sale at Off-White™ stores, Church’s stores, and on church-footwear.com.
