Louis Vuitton has announced plans to host an exhibition of the highly-coveted Nike Air Force 1 sneakers designed by Virgil Abloh for the French label’s spring 2022 presentation in Paris. The exhibit will showcase all 47 Air Force 1 designs included in the collection in physical and virtual form. The exhibit will include a pair of the Damier Air Force 1s, 200 of which were auctioned at Sotheby’s to benefit the Virgil Abloh Post-Modern Scholarship Fund. Valued at $3 million, the auction raised a total of $25.3 million.

A nod to city-centered 90s and ’00s sneaker culture, Abloh’s Air Force 1 silhouettes took inspiration from customizers who adorned Nike shoes with bootleg luxury label fabrics. According to Fraser Cooke, head of special projects at Nike, “For the Nike and Louis Vuitton Air Force 1 project, Virgil wanted to reference the customized versions that popped up in the late ’80s and early ’90s, which often incorporated Louis Vuitton fabrics repurposed and applied to the Swooshes and uppers of the shoes.”

Louis Vuitton is currently in the midst of accepting pre-orders for nine different version of Louis Vuitton and Nike Air Force 1 by Abloh. The nine different colorways include an all-white pair, two-tone, black suede, metallic gold and multicolor mid-top and low-top silhouettes, all of which were manufactured in Venice, Italy. Sized from 3.5-18, the shoes range in price from 2,000-2,500 euros.

The opening night event on May 20. 2022 will include a performance by 21 Savage and a DJ set by Jamie xx .The Louis Vuitton Nike Air Force 1 by Virgil Abloh exhibit will be open to the public May 21-31, 2022 at Green Point Terminal Warehouse in New York City. Coinciding with the exhibition, a number of corresponding installations will take place around New York City and the world.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
