Nike and Virgil Abloh recently showcased their upcoming collaboration — 'The Ten Icons Reconstructed'. Part of this highly anticipated collaboration, the partnership presents 'Off Campus' which promises an environment for culture and learning in the hopes of advancing sport, design and innovation from the heart of East London. From Sept. 14 - 17, Nike and Virgil will be hosting workshops and talks alongside select mentors to explore the inspirations behind the collaboration.
The 'REMIX & RECONSTRUCT' workshop allows attendees to express their creativity and style using Nike's Air Force 1 as the blank canvas. Mentors Eddie Peake, Grace Wales Bonner, A$AP Nast, and Michele Lamy will provide expertise and handpicked materials to allow for the creation of bespoke Air Force 1s.
'MUSIC CURATION' will use the Air Max 90 as the focal point of workshops that will provide attendees with the skills needed to select and curate music alongside producer Benji B (and friends). These sessions will provide the tools to sample, remix, DJ, and build playlists for any scenario.
The Nike Air Presto is at the forefront of the 'T-SHIRT' workshop, in which Martine Rose and a Nike designer will guide attendees through the creation of their own t-shirt, using a vintage shirt as the starting point.
Other workshops within the series include a focus on visual language to create an "Agit-zine", a curated run that explores London's cultural landmarks, and seminal discussions on Nike's iconic style history with Kim Jones and Virgil Abloh.
