The Virgil Abloh Archive™ and Nike will bring the retrospective Virgil Abloh: The Codes to The Shed in New York from Dec. 10, 2026, through Jan. 18, 2027. The exhibition is set to include nearly 1,000 items, a recreation of Abloh’s Paris office and an interactive media lab; public tickets go on sale Oct. 23, starting at $25.
The Virgil Abloh Archive™ and Nike will bring Virgil Abloh: The Codes to The Shed in New York City from December 10, 2026, through January 18, 2027, presenting nearly 1,000 objects and materials related to the late designer’s work and creative process. General-public tickets are scheduled to go on sale October 23, starting at $25.
Curated by Chloe Sultan and Mahfuz Sultan, the New York exhibition is described as a retrospective spanning Abloh’s work across fashion, art, architecture, graphic design and music. The planned display includes finished products, prototypes, sketches and archival materials. Organizers say the presentation will also feature a recreation of Abloh’s Paris office and an interactive media lab containing raw design files.
The New York edition builds on earlier presentations in Paris and Miami. According to the source report, those iterations 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. The report says a new V.A.A. sneaker has not been confirmed for the New York exhibition.
A month-long program of performances, workshops and conversations is planned alongside the exhibition, but its schedule has not yet been released. The listed run is just under six weeks, and ticket prices begin at $25; the available information does not give further details about ticket tiers or access arrangements.
Abloh’s Process Takes Center Stage
The exhibition is designed to show not only completed work but also how Abloh developed ideas, using prototypes, sketches and design files to make his process more visible. That approach reflects the organizers’ emphasis on his open-source philosophy, which the exhibition associates with his “Codes.” For visitors, the archive materials and interactive lab could offer a closer look at the methods behind projects that crossed creative disciplines.
The New York presentation also brings the exhibition to The Shed, a venue for contemporary art and culture, and adds a public program that is intended to extend beyond the display itself. The timing is notable: Shannon Abloh said the exhibition marks the fifth anniversary of Virgil Abloh’s passing. The presentation is framed by his family archive as both a retrospective and a way to share his ideas with new audiences.

From Paris and Miami to New York
Virgil Abloh: The Codes has appeared in earlier editions in Paris and Miami, according to the report. The New York show is presented as a further iteration, retaining the focus on Abloh’s creative methods while broadening the account of his work across multiple fields. The reported footwear debuts in the earlier editions show that those presentations have included material that had not previously been released, but they do not confirm what the New York edition may add.
Abloh, who died in 2021, worked across fashion and design and was known for collaborations including those with Nike. The exhibition is organized by the Virgil Abloh Archive™ and Nike; Shannon Abloh, founder of the archive and foundation, described the show as a way to carry forward his interest in sharing knowledge and opening opportunities.
“As we mark the fifth anniversary of Virgil’s passing, this exhibition is an opportunity to honor his tireless spirit and how he changed the way people think about creativity, collaboration and what is possible.”
— Shannon Abloh, founder of Abloh’s Archive™ and Foundation
Program and New Works Unconfirmed
Organizers have not yet published the schedule for performances, workshops and conversations. It is also not clear whether the New York exhibition will include a previously unreleased footwear design or other new material. The source report explicitly says another V.A.A. sneaker has not been confirmed; the earlier Paris and Miami examples should not be taken as evidence that one will appear in New York.
Further information about ticket availability, ticket categories, timed entry and the exhibition’s full contents has not been provided in the source material. The stated $25 starting price does not establish the cost of every ticket or whether additional fees will apply.
Tickets and Schedule Ahead
General-public tickets are scheduled to go on sale October 23, 2026, with prices starting at $25. The exhibition is due to open at The Shed on December 10 and close January 18, 2027. Organizers are expected to release further details about the accompanying public program, though no announcement date for that schedule is included in the available information.
Visitors looking for specific exhibits or events will need to wait for the full program and exhibition details. Until then, the confirmed outline is a nearly 1,000-piece retrospective with archival materials, a recreated Paris office and an interactive media lab.
