Im Jahr 2016 taten sich der Sportartikelhersteller Nike und der Modedesigner Virgil Abloh für eine Sneaker-Kollektion zusammen. Mit ihrem Projekt "The Ten" feierten sie zehn der legendärsten Modelle des in Oregon ansässigen Unternehmens und belebten die Kultur des Turnschuhs neu - vom Air Jordan 1 bis zum Air Max 90 , vom Air Force 1 bis zum Air Presto . Virgil Ablohs Neuentwürfe bieten tiefe Einblicke in technischen Einfallsreichtum und die Entstehung kultureller Güteklasse. Er spielte mit Bausteinen der visuellen Sprache, indem er die Originalität der ursprünglichen Modelle mit Slang-Begriffen und lokalen Idiomen seiner Träger verband. Inspiriert von der Raffinesse des Dadaismus, von Architekturtheorie und vom avantgardistischen Happening analysierte er, was die Schuhe jeweils "ikonisch" macht, und de-konstruierte sie zu kunstvollen Assemblagen - jede Neuschöpfung ist zugleich ein Stück Industriedesign, eine Readymade-Skulptur und ein Kleidungsstück . ICONS spürt diesem investigativen, kreativen Prozess anhand von dokumentierten Prototypen, Textnachrichten von Abloh an die Nike-Designer und Schätzen aus den Nike-Archiven nach. Wir finden Swooshes, die von Air Jordans abgetrennt und mittels Klebeband oder Garn wieder angebracht wurden, Ablohs typische, in Anführungszeichen auf den Air Force 1 gekritzelte Textfragmente und in Stücke geschnittene All Stars. Wir blicken hinter die Kulissen und werden Zeuge von Ablohs freiem DIY-Konzept, das jedem Modell der Off-WhiteTM c/o Nike-Kollektion seine eigene Note verlieh. Ablohs investigativer Designprozess spiegelt sich in der kunstvollen Schweizer Bindung des Buches wider, die den Rücken und so die Beschaffenheit von ICONS offenlegt. Um seine kooperative Arbeitsweise zu dokumentieren, setzte Abloh auf die gedruckte Seite. Für die Gestaltung des Buchs arbeiteten Nike und Abloh eng mit dem renommierten Londoner Designstudio Zak Group zusammen. Gemeinsam schufen sie dieses zweiteilige Kompendium, das zu gleichen Teilen Katalog und konzeptionelle Toolbox ist. Der erste Teil präsentiert die visuelle Kultur des Turnschuhs, während ein Lexikon im zweiten Teil Schlüsselpersonen, Orte, Objekte, Ideen, Materialien und Szenen definiert, aus denen das Projekt hervorgegangen ist. Texte von Nicholas Schonberger (Nike), dem Schriftsteller Troy Patterson, dem Kurator und Historiker Glenn Adamson sowie Virgil Abloh selber verorten die gemeinsame Arbeit innerhalb der Mode- und Designgeschichte. Ein Vorwort von Hiroshi Fujiwara stellt das Projekt in das historische Kontinuum der Gemeinschaftsprojekte von Nike.

World War II - The Final Months
Format: Hardcover
The book takes you through the final months of World War II, focusing on eight key moments when the fighting finally came to an end. It’s not just a dry rundown of facts or battle maps — the authors do a great job of bringing the people involved to life, from famous leaders to everyday soldiers and civilians caught in the chaos. What I really liked was how the story moves around the globe, covering Europe, the Pacific, and beyond. It keeps the narrative fresh and exciting, giving a real sense of how the war unfolded on many fronts at once. Sometimes I had to pay close attention to keep up with all the locations and characters, but that only added to the feeling of being caught up in a fast-moving, gripping story rather than a history lesson. What stood out most was how it made me feel the human side of history—the fear, the relief, and the confusion as the war finally ended. It’s full of details, but it never felt boring or too technical.

The Fix
Format: Hardcover
An insightful and interesting book on how our country's first legislators try to make sense of the new and fairly short U.S. Constitution, which, being drafted by humans, was bound to be imperfect. A lack of clarity on some point might be due to the changeable nature of words themselves or to confusion or obscurity of thought by the authors. And, who were the authors? The men in the room who came up with the product or the various state conventions that approved the final product? Professor Gienapp writes well and with a fine grasp of his subject. He uses concrete examples to illustrate his main points. For example, Congressional debates over the constitutionality of a proposed federal bank, the ratification of Jay's Treaty, and even whether the Bill of Rights was to be incorporated into or simply added to the original document. Most people think of U.S. constitutional history in terms of its drafting and ratification and/or its later judicial interpretation by the Supreme Court. Here, Professor Gienapp focuses on the initial work of interpretation by the first few sessions of Congress. This book is essential reading for those interested in the U.S. Constitution and the internal architecture of our government. I think those who spend countless hours viewing frenetic talking heads say this or that about the constitutionality of some issue or another (or the nomination of a justice to the High Court) should throw their television set out the window and, instead, settle into a corner chair and calmly read this and other such thoughtful books. This one should win prizes.

Excellent Book
Format: Hardcover
Stanford University History Professor Gienapp has done an outstanding job of researching and writing this historical analysis of the interpretation of the American Constitution by America's first Congress. Professor Gienapp analyzes data primarily from Congress's problems interpreting the removable of executive officers, chartering a national bank and approval of the 1794 Treaty with Great Britain negotiated by Chief Justice John Jay, the "Jay Treaty." Gienapp shows in clear writing how Congress used records of the debates at the Constitutional Convention and State Ratification Conventions to resolve these constitutional issues. I highly recommend this book to anyone concerned with the interpretation of the American Constitution.
