Project Summary:
Nike commissioned me to create bespoke artworks and matching trainers for the launch of their new Air Max 270 x React shoe. Each of the designs commissioned for this collection was inspired by modern art movements spanning several decades; from pop art to Bauhaus and psychedelia, with colours from the designs carried over to the collection of shoes.

BACKGROUND
Exposure reached out to me for an exciting collaboration with Nike, tasking me with creating a distinctive artwork inspired by the vibrant, mind-bending aesthetic of 1960s psychedelic art, using a specific colour palette provided by Nike. This palette was significant, as it was set to launch as a limited edition colourway of the Air Max 270 x React trainer.
My artwork, embodying the essence of this era and Nike's innovative vision, premiered at both an exclusive Nike event and the @nikelondon Instagram page; and was featured prominently on Highsnobiety, and in the popular youth magazine 'It's Nice That'.
