The hardcover book is available in two collectable covers, priced at $120 USD each. The title is also accompanied by quotes from Virgil Abloh himself, and in-depth captions that contextualize every stage of his journey at Louis Vuitton. “As a Black creative with no formal training in fashion design, no list of established fashion houses on his CV … Abloh saw himself as an infiltrator in high fashion: a true outsider who would become a groundbreaking figure,” says Madsen in an exclusive press release. 
The title, split into eight chapters and the complete catalogue of the designer’s sneakers, offers an in-depth exploration of Abloh’s prodigious creative mind and unceasing dedication to equality in art and design. Written by Anders Christian Madsen, the book also includes personal reflections from Abloh’s inner circle, including Nigo, Kendall Jenner, Kid Cudi and Luka Sabbat. The hardcover book, the first to be released since his passing in November 2021, celebrates through 359 pages and over 320 iconic images the creative polymath’s legacy and persona. Not only did Abloh start an unstoppable cultural shift towards inclusivity, diversity, and empowerment in the industry, but also a new era of luxury.
