For the “Athlete in Progress” collection, Virgil Abloh taps Nike’s rich heritage in track and field. The assortment balances performance product with post-run apparel and footwear inspired by Nike’s storied running shoe designs.
“I started talking with Nike about this women’s running project last summer and at the time, I was very much inspired by the aesthetic and style track and field athletes. As a result, I invited some Nike’s elite track and field champions to participate in my SS19 Off-White runway show as the natural forerunner to developing and showcasing the collection,” says Abloh.
The Off-White x Nike “Athlete in Progress” collection releases globally on June 27.
