Vitra Design Museum - Nike Exhibition - September 2024

The new exhibition «Nike: Form Follows Motion» at the Vitra Design Museum covers the history, design, and science of Nike – from humble beginnings in Oregon to globe-dominating fashion. Along the way, there are peeks into the lab where the company developed technology like the famous Nike Air. There’s also a discussion of sustainability in manufacturing, and even some critique of Nike’s global dominance. Exhibit curator Glenn Adamson led the creation of the show, pulling items from Nike’s vast company archive. Adamson walked The English Show’s Gabe Bullard through the museum and pointed out a few of the highlights.
