ICONS: Something's OFF book, Virgil Abloh x Nike

This two-part book describes the collaborative work between designer Virgil Abloh and Nike, and reaffirms the power of print.
The first part explores the visual culture surrounding trainers, whilst the glossary in the second part defines the people, places, objects, ideas, materials and contexts that have made this project possible.
This book takes you behind the scenes and reveals the empirical approach of the brilliantly inventive Abloh, who gives each design in his Off-White™ c/o Nike collection a unique look.
By bringing together all the classics — from the Air Jordan 1 to the Air Presto — Nike and Virgil Abloh are breathing new life into sneaker culture. Their collaborative project, The Ten, reimagines 10 iconic trainers. Discover these engineering masterpieces and explore Abloh’s approach, which blends creativity and exploration: each model is a piece of industrial design, a wearable readymade sculpture.Size & Fit: 25.5 x 29.7 cm.
