The Virgil Abloh Archive™ and Nike will bring “Virgil Abloh: The Codes” to The Shed in New York from Dec. 10, 2026, through Jan. 18, 2027, presenting nearly 1,000 objects and materials tracing the late designer’s work and creative process. General public tickets are scheduled to go on sale Oct. 23, starting at $25.
Curated by Chloe Sultan and Mahfuz Sultan, the exhibition is set to include finished works, prototypes, sketches and archival materials. The organizers describe the presentation as examining Abloh’s influence across fashion, art, architecture, graphic design and music, as well as the methods behind his work.
The New York edition will include a recreation of Abloh’s Paris office and an interactive media lab containing raw design files. A Nike statement said the presentation would place greater emphasis on making Abloh’s creative thinking tangible, building on ideas explored in earlier versions of the exhibition in Paris and Miami.
A schedule of performances, workshops and conversations is planned to accompany the month-long run, but details have not yet been released. The supplied announcement does not list ticketing limits, exact opening hours or whether all exhibition areas will require separate reservations.
Abloh’s Process Takes Center Stage
The New York exhibition is notable for its focus not only on completed designs but also on the working materials and decisions behind them. Sketches, prototypes and accessible design files could give visitors a view of how Abloh developed ideas across different creative fields, rather than presenting his work solely as finished products.
The organizers connect that approach to Abloh’s open-source philosophy, described in the announcement as his “Codes.” In a statement, Shannon Abloh, founder of the Virgil Abloh Archive™ and Foundation, said the exhibition was an opportunity to honor his spirit and share his process and ideas with new generations. The extent of public access to the media lab and its files has not been specified.

From Paris and Miami to New York
“The Codes” has had earlier editions in Paris and Miami. According to the report, those presentations included previously unreleased footwear: the Off-White™ x Nike Terra Forma in Miami and the V.A.A. x Nike Zoom M9 Cryoshot in Paris. Those examples provide context for the exhibition’s mix of archival material and new or less familiar work.
The New York announcement does not confirm a new shoe or other product debut. The report raises the possibility of another V.A.A. sneaker, but that remains speculation, not an announced feature. The upcoming edition is scheduled for the fifth anniversary of Abloh’s death, according to Shannon Abloh’s statement.
