Other images from the magazine are featured, and showcases Abloh paying homage to an ad of renowned DJ Grandmaster Flash, by mimicking the same pose of squatting on a 1996 Helmut Lang for Louis Vuitton record box. In addition, the shoot is also a nod to editor Takuya Chiba, who contributed fifteen years to GRIND and its sister publication, PERK.

This new issue of GRIND, dubbed "Space and Style" is out now in select newsstands worldwide.

Up next, Virgil Abloh’s first Louis Vuitton sneaker is reminiscent of an Air Jordan 3.
