Drawing on the genius of the original shoe using lettering, ironic labels, collage, and sculpting techniques, Abloh plays with language and sculptural elements to construct new meaning. Inspired by the wit of Dadaism, architectural theory, and avant-garde happenings, he analyzes what makes each shoe iconic and deconstructs it into an \u003cstrong\u003eartistic assemblage\u003c\/strong\u003e, making \u003cstrong\u003eeach shoe into a piece of industrial design, a readymade sculpture, and a wearable all at once\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIcons\u003c\/em\u003e traces Abloh’s investigative, creative process through documentation of the \u003cstrong\u003eprototypes\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal text messages \u003c\/strong\u003efrom Abloh to Nike designers, and \u003cstrong\u003etreasures from the Nike archives\u003c\/strong\u003e.

He operates in the realms of Art, Design, and Culture in conjunction with advocacy, mentoring, and philanthropy in the spaces he occupies. After earning a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he completed a master’s degree in Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), Chicago. At IIT, while studying a Bauhaus design curriculum devised by Mies van der Rohe, Abloh began to craft the principles of his broader art practice. The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago presented a major traveling survey of Abloh’s work in summer 2019—one of the highest attended exhibitions in the museum’s history.
