VIRGIL ABLOH. NIKE. ICONS
In 2016 bundelden sportkledingfabrikant Nike en modeontwerper Virgil Abloh hun krachten om een sneakercollectie te creëren die 10 van de meest iconische schoenen van het bedrijf uit Oregon viert. Met hun project The Ten, waarin onder meer iconen als Air Jordan 1, Air Max 90, Air Force 1 en Air Presto opnieuw vorm werden gegeven, hebben ze de sneakercultuur nieuw leven ingeblazen.De ontwerpen van Virgil Abloh bevatten elementen van technisch vernuft en culturele betekenis. Hij gebruikte technieken als belettering, ironische labels, collage en beeldhouwen om elke schoen een nieuwe betekenis te geven. Abloh, geïnspireerd door dadaïsme, architectuurtheorie en avant-gardistische happenings, deconstrueerde en reconstrueerde elke schoen en veranderde ze in industriële designstukken, readymade sculpturen en draagbare items. Het boek ICONS documenteert het creatieve proces van Abloh en toont prototypes, originele sms-berichten en Nike-archieven. Het onthult de doe-het-zelf-aanpak en unieke accenten die Abloh aan elk model in de Off-WhiteTM c/o Nike-collectie heeft toegevoegd. Het ontwerp van het boek, gemaakt in samenwerking met Zak Group, bevat een visuele cultuur van sneakers in het eerste deel en een lexicon dat de belangrijkste elementen van het project definieert in het tweede deel. Teksten van verschillende bijdragers plaatsen het gezamenlijke werk binnen de mode- en designgeschiedenis, met een voorwoord van Hiroshi Fujiwara dat het werk in de context van Nike's samenwerkingen plaatst.
