Limited Edition Book

NIKE OFF WHITE ICONS “SOMETHINGS OFF” BOOK by VIRGIL ABLOH SPECIAL EDITION?? In Hand and ready to send! Bringing together all the greats-from. Nike and Virgil Abloh reinvent sneaker culture. With the collaborative project The Ten and redesign 10 sneaker icons. Experience engineering ingenuity and Abloh’s investigative design process. Each shoe is a piece of industrial design, a readymade sculpture, and a wearable all at once. ICONS, published by TASCHEN, is a dynamic retrospective of the extensive collaborative project between NIKE, Inc. Underpinned by The Ten, ICONS explores how the partnership works to unify all the intangible cultural threads connected to sneakers. The book traces Abloh’s investigative, creative process through documentation of prototypes, original text messages from Abloh to Nike designers and treasures from the Nike archives. Within ICONS, readers will find Swooshes sliced away from Air Jordans and reapplied with tape or thread, Abloh’s quotation marks trialed on Nike Air Force 1s and Converse All Stars cut into pieces. The effect is a behind-the-scenes witness to The Ten’s DIY approach, which gives each model in the Off-WhiteT c/o Nike collection its own unique touch. The foundation of my practice isn’t nearly the end result – it’s rigor and process of the logic. The archive is the paper trail of those artifacts, says Abloh. The ICONS book is, in a way, the only revealing lens to understand that the catalog of the 50-plus Nike shoes I have designed are in my mind’one shoe. Texts by Hiroshi Fujiwara, writer Troy Patterson, curator and historian Glenn Adamson and Virgil Abloh himself frame the collaborative work within fashion and design history. A lexicon in the second part of the book explains the scene from which the project grew and introduces the people, places, objects, ideas, materials and expressions that form the foundation of sneaker culture as a whole. #ICONS #BOOK #LimitedEditionBook #VirgilAbloh #OffWhite #Nike. #SomethingsOff #NewBook #OUTNOW #Exclusive #OffWhiteBook.
