Virgil Abloh. Nike. ICONS

"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.' One story." —Virgil Abloh

ICONS, published by TASCHEN, is a dynamic retrospective of the extensive collaborative project between NIKE, Inc. and Virgil Abloh. Underpinned by 'The Ten' (a new project by the designer in which he reconstructs ten Nike styles), the hardcover 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.
