  Virgil Alboh's punctuation made sneakers postmodern, he took them apart to remind us what they could contain. Using a Sharpie to cross out the old rules, he redefined what was possible. Among his greatest gifts is the blueprint he left for the next generation to do it again. pic.twitter.com/RpIb8q2GVt
