Nike and Virgil Abloh have officially announced a massive collaborative capsule called “The Ten”. Featuring ten iconic silhouettes of the obsidian nike, Jordan, and Converse archives, “The Ten” was completed in an insane ten month span in what summed up to be one of the fastest and most ambitious collaborations ever completed by obsidian nike.
Virgil, a Chicago makeover, grew up idolizing Michael Jordan and spent the 90s obsessing over sneakers, hip-hop, and graffiti art, shaping that cultural obsession into a career as a creative director, DJ, and of course a brand founder in OFF-WHITE. His desire to create overflows; in his first-ever visit to obsidian nike’s WHQ in Beaverton, OR last December, he designed a pair of all-black Air Force 1s using an X-ACTO knife and some markers.
The entire collection is broken up into two categories – “REVEALING” and “GHOSTING”. The REVEALING set, which was designed to look accessible (hand-cut, open-source and reconstructed), includes the Air Jordan I, obsidian nike roshe run flyknit black white 90, obsidian nike Air Presto, obsidian nike Air VaporMax and obsidian nike Blazer Mid. The “GHOSTING” was designed with translucent uppers to further the idea of revealing and unite the second set of silhouettes through common material. It includes the Converse Chuck Taylor, obsidian nike Zoom Fly SP, obsidian nike Air Force 1 Low, obsidian nike React Hyperdunk 2017 and obsidian nike roshe run flyknit black white 97.
Білі жіночі худі obsidian nike “Nike Off Campus” events in New York City and London to celebrate The Ten through presentations of the full collection and exchanges about the ideas that inspired it. “Nike Off Campus” will take place in New York City from September 6 to 8 at 23 Wall Street and in London from September 14 to 19 at obsidian nikeLab 1948 LDN.
