The Virgil Abloh Archive and Nike will present the New York edition of Virgil Abloh: The Codes at The Shed from Dec. 10, 2026, through Jan. 18, 2027. The exhibition is set to include nearly 1,000 objects and materials, an office recreation and an interactive media lab; general tickets go on sale Oct. 23, starting at $25.
The Virgil Abloh Archive and Nike will bring the retrospective Virgil Abloh: The Codes to The Shed in New York, with the exhibition scheduled to run from Dec. 10, 2026, through Jan. 18, 2027. The presentation will include nearly 1,000 items tracing the late designer’s work and creative process; general-public tickets go on sale Oct. 23, starting at $25.
According to the announcement reported by Hypebeast, the exhibition is curated by Chloe Sultan and Mahfuz Sultan and will span Abloh’s work across fashion, art, architecture, graphic design and music. Its materials are expected to include finished works, prototypes, sketches and other archival items. The organizers describe the show as an exploration of how Abloh developed ideas as well as the finished objects those ideas produced.
The New York presentation will also include a recreation of Abloh’s Paris office and an interactive media lab containing raw design files. The exhibition builds on earlier presentations in Paris and Miami, but the organizers say this iteration will put added emphasis on making Abloh’s creative thinking tangible. No item-by-item checklist has been provided in the source material.
A month-long program of performances, workshops and conversations is planned alongside the exhibition. Details about that schedule have not yet been released. General tickets are listed at $25 and up, with sales opening Oct. 23; the available information does not specify ticket tiers, booking limits or whether admission prices vary by date.
A Process-Focused View of Abloh’s Work
The exhibition’s announced focus reaches beyond a display of completed fashion and design pieces. By combining prototypes, sketches and archival material with access to raw design files, the show aims to present how Abloh worked and connected ideas across creative fields. That approach is relevant to visitors interested in his methods as well as those familiar with his finished collaborations.
The New York run also extends a project that has already appeared in Paris and Miami, bringing the archive’s presentation to a new venue and audience. The accompanying public program could add opportunities to engage with the ideas behind the objects, though its content and participants remain unannounced. The exhibition’s actual reach and interpretation will depend on the final display and programming, which have not yet been detailed.

From Paris and Miami to The Shed
Virgil Abloh: The Codes is described as a global exhibition dedicated to Abloh’s life, work and legacy. The New York edition follows earlier presentations in Paris and Miami, and is framed around his open-source approach to creativity, which the exhibition calls his “Codes.” The source report says prior editions showed previously unreleased footwear, including the Off-White x Nike Terra Forma in Miami and the V.A.A. x Nike Zoom M9 Cryoshot in Paris.
Those earlier examples provide context for the new show, but they do not confirm what will appear in New York. The source report explicitly says another sneaker release or reveal is not confirmed. The New York exhibition is scheduled for the fifth anniversary period of Abloh’s death, a timing referenced by Shannon Abloh in the statement quoted in the report.
“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

Exhibition Details Still Pending
Several practical details remain open. The source material does not provide a full list of the nearly 1,000 pieces, the precise layout of the exhibition, or the dates and participants for its associated events. It also does not clarify ticket tiers beyond the starting price, or whether timed entry and advance reservations will be required.
Although earlier editions included previously unreleased footwear, no new sneaker or product reveal has been confirmed for New York. The report raises that possibility as speculation only; it should not be treated as part of the announced exhibition. Further information from the organizers may clarify what objects and programming visitors can expect.
