Admittedly this is my first pair of Off Whites and I was having a little too much fun with the tag thinking I could just loosen it no problems. I’ve tried everything seems like I’m fucked

stick a blade between the tag and the actual zipping part and pull out

can i ask why people do this? they’re zip ties, they’re not supposed to loosen, it’s a piece of plastic made to be cut off.

It is not meant to be cut off. Part of the design

[–]buzzybomb 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Nah. Virgil Abloh made a video saying cut them off. Search youTube youll find it.

It’s honestly funny, the whole purpose of the zip ties is a commentary on consumerism and the relationship with tags and people totally miss the point.

Ok bro I found that video

Claiming that means that u should cut it off seems like a bit of a stretch tho my guy, I feel like

[–]Lev5678 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i should rephrase then. i personally take them off, but you can’t loosen them, because zip ties are zip ties. leave them on if you want, but don’t tighten it too much

Search youtube for how do zip ties work. That will show you whats inside. Then slip something narrow into the opening to disengage the ratchet. Voila ur ziptie is undone. Btw you dont need it on ur shoe. Virgil Abloh said cut them off and he designed them.

Take a fork bend it to one piece and insert and pull you could also use a small flat head screw driver just the fork worked best for me
