Virgil Abloh delves into Nike’s rich heritage in track and field with the Nike c/o Virgil Abloh “Athlete in Progress” collection. This women’s running collection features the Nike x Off-White Zoom Terra Kiger 5, which is deeply inspired by the track and salutes the unbreakable confidence held by runners.
The international running community embraces the power of self-belief, consistent from the unprecedented marathon performances of 1984 through the continued efforts to break boundaries in 2019, and in every fight for a personal best or world record. While times may not be equal and races are won by one one-hundredth of a second, runners, though self-reliant, share the drive toward consistent progress.
“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 of track and field athletes. As a result, I invited some of 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.
Nike c/o Virgil Abloh “Athlete in Progress” debuted in Paris last September as part of the Off-White SS19 runway show with athletes Dina Asher Smith, Vashti Cunningham, Cecilia Yeung, English Gardner, Katarina Johnson-Thompson, Nafi Thiam, Caterine Ibarguen and Rénelle Lamote.
