Material Matters: Deconstructing Virgil Abloh's Off-White X Nike Colab

We’ve been getting flooded with collaborative announcements lately (Skepta’s 97, Kendrick’s switch to Nike, a new Kanye shoe) but perhaps the most important is Nike’s ten-piece colab with Off-White’s Virgil Abloh. His deconstructed designs for the Swoosh have been created using simple techniques that offer a complex aesthetic and a whole new perspective. There’s no doubt that Virgil has a Material Matters mind inside that head, so it’s time we picked at the stitching to see just what’s gone into making this mammoth collection.
