Stretch a Sketch

Using sport as inspiration, we were asked to challenge the function of a pair of NIKE shoes for NIKE78. We wanted to challenge the use of NIKE trainers in sport by combining sport and art in homage to our childhood TV legends Rolf and Neil. We developed a sport that we would want to be involved in, that would make our heroes proud. For us, sport is really about doing something physical rather than a spectator event. The same goes for our projects, all physical, they look fun on the surface but are hard work underneath.

As kids neither of us were allowed NIKE shoes and so had to do sports day in Hi-Techs instead. Constantly mortified and not wanting to be seen for fear of embarrassing ourselves. Things have clearly changed.

The Art of Football

We were commissioned to design a piece of art to exist in a Nike retail environment. The project formed part of the ‘Art of Football’ project run by Nike and Nick Knight (SHOWstudio) Our piece was exhibited alongside other finalists in an exhibition in Basel, Switzerland which coincided with the annual ‘Art Basel’ fair.
