Nike has a year's worth of 'Off-White' products ready to sell as Virgil Abloh estate plans what comes next

• Shannon Abloh, Virgil Abloh's widow, spoke with the New York Times about plans for his estate.
• The plans include a joint venture with Nike called Architecture.

Virgil Abloh's impact on the world's biggest sneaker brand didn't end with the designer's untimely death a year ago from a rare form of heart cancer.

His widow, Shannon Abloh, has partnered with Nike on the creation of Architecture. The entity is part of Virgil Abloh Securities, the vehicle to continue his creative work.

Starting Thursday, Nike and Virgil Abloh Securities will host a four-day exhibit in Miami called "Virgil Abloh: The Codes c/o Architecture" at the Rubell Museum.

The exhibition will showcase Abloh's creative principles, or Codes.

As part of the exhibit, Nike will unveil the Off-White Nike Terra Forma, the first sneaker Abloh designed from scratch for the brand. It's expected to release, along with some apparel, later in December.

And there's more to come.

In a story published Tuesday in the New York Times, Nike creative director John Hoke said there's at least a year of Off-White Nike products in the works and the company is working with Architecture on what comes next.

"Virgil and Nike thrived together because he understood the brand's role as a cornerstone of culture while Nike understood the importance of truly supporting creatives and their visions," Shannon Abloh said in a news release.

In 2017, Nike released "The Ten," a collection of 10 iconic Nike models that Abloh rethought and reconstructed.

Shoes from the collection remain prized by sneaker collectors, with the Air Jordan 1 from the collection last selling for more than $6,300 on StockX.

"The depth of Nike's partnership with Virgil materialized far beyond our iconic collaborations," said Leo Sandino-Taylor, a Nike vice president of global catalyst brand management, in the news release. "His transparent design approach influenced our teams and inspired a new generation of young design talent to find their creative voice and share it with the world."
