On September 30, 2025, through October 9th, 2025, Shannon Abloh stewarded the monumental launch of Virgil Abloh: The Codes exhibition in Paris in partnership with Nike, marking the first major European exhibition devoted to the work of Virgil Abloh and displaying more than 700 items from the 20,000-piece Virgil Abloh Archive™.The exhibit provided unprecedented access for over 20,000 youth and educators with the goal of inspiring the next generation that their creative aspirations can become a reality.

As part of Art Basel Miami 2025, VAF continued another key initiative: the Abloh Skateboarding Invitational.Designed to meet young people where they already gather − in movement, music, street culture, and community − this event brought together hundreds of local youth for skateboarding workshops, contests, DJ sets, and creative exploration.
