Kid Cudi Brings Virgil Abloh’s Air Jordan 1 x Off-White Sneakers to the Red Carpet at 2022 SAG Awards
Kid Cudi took athletic sneakers to colorful new heights on the red carpet at the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
The rapper arrived in a black Louis Vuitton suit by Virgil Abloh, which featured glittering checkerboard panels made from pieces of Vuitton’s house monogram. Cudi’s trousers featured a black pleated skirt over their legs, adding a new take to layering on the red carpet. His ensemble was finished with a white collared shirt, rings and ombre sunglasses.

When it came to footwear, Cudi opted for a pair of Abloh’s Air Jordan 1 x Off-White sneakers—which also won FN’s Shoe of the Year award at our 2019 FNAA’s. The high-top style featured red, white and black leather paneled uppers, complete with blue stitching, Nike’s Swoosh logo, a red plastic Off-White hangtag and outsoles printed with “Air” graphics. The musician gave the pair his own spin by swapping its black laces for a contrasting neon orange and green set—one color on each foot—while leaving the laces undone.
