The exhibition, together with this accompanying catalogue, marks the milestones in Nike's six-decade history and explores its ascent into a global brand that holds a central role in popular culture. The focus of the exhibition is on Nike's design practice—from the company's beginnings in the 1960s and the design of its famous \"swoosh\" logo to iconic products such as Air Max, Air Jordan, and Vapor Fly, as well as current research devoted to future materials and sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main source for the exhibition is the Department of Nike Archives, which contains a unique collection of drawings, prototypes, and other documentation.

Among the objects on show are rarities and one-offs from the company's early days in the 1960s, original design drawings and prototypes of iconic sneaker models, historical documents and films, as well as the results of collaborations with creative figures such as Virgil Abloh and Marc Newson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNike: Form Follows Motion\u003c\/em\u003e traces Nike's design process, which begins with the scientific analysis of the human body in motion and material research and culminates in the finished product and its branding.
