DESCRIPTION

Explore the groundbreaking collaboration between Nike and fashion visionary Virgil Abloh.

This meticulously crafted book delves into the creation of "The Ten", a collection that reimagines ten of Nike's most iconic sneakers, including the Air Jordan 1, Air Max 90, Air Force 1, and Air Presto.

Perfect for fans searching for a Virgil Abloh book or book about Nike designs, this comprehensive volume offers unparalleled insights into the fusion of art, design, and sneaker culture.

Drawing inspiration from Dadaism, architectural theory, and avant-garde movements, Abloh transforms each sneaker into a piece of industrial design, a readymade sculpture, and a wearable work of art.

"ICONS" provides an in-depth look at Abloh's creative process, featuring original text messages between Abloh and Nike designers, prototype documentation, and treasures from the Nike archives.

Discover the distinctive elements that make each shoe unique, from Swooshes reapplied with tape to Abloh's signature text fragments in quotation marks on the Air Force 1.

The book's innovative Swiss binding, with its open spine, reveals the meticulous production process and symbolizes Abloh's deconstructive vocabulary.

Featuring texts by Nike's Nicholas Schonberger, writer Troy Patterson, curator and historian Glenn Adamson, and Virgil Abloh himself, "ICONS" situates the collaborative work within the broader context of fashion and design history.

A foreword by Hiroshi Fujiwara places the project within the historical continuum of Nike collaborators, making this book an essential addition for sneaker enthusiasts and design aficionados alike.
