Nike Basketball Paper Battlefield

/

Came across these images today while searching for a comprehensive list of Nike Logos. Still looking for all the Nike logos in vector format…if anyone know where to find them send me a link!!!! Anyways I thought these posters were super fucking rad nonetheless so I figured I’d share them. The images are from a couple years ago, but still pretty bad ass. These are designs are for the Lion Grand Prix winning call-for-entry posters for the annual Nike Basketball League Competition in Hong Kong.

The creative team Mccann Hong Kong literally translated the spirit of competition onto the posters. 350 posters were handmade by the players. Images of the top 10 players, each representing a unique skill were turned into printing templates. Then they were invited to a silkscreen workshop to print their image on top of each other. The posters became their battlefield. The random cross-printing became their battles. And the printing process became their message.

Places for the Nike Basketball League quickly filled up, and the posters became one of the most sought-after Nike collectibles among the players’ community. More importantly, being their own creation, the posters meant more than just posters to the players – the creative process became an exclusive and unique experience shared only by them in their community.

The Air Mag is finally here.

The Air Mag is the first rechargeable footwear from Nike were designed as an identical replica to the originals seen in the Back to the Future II movie. Some of the constant elements include the upper contours, the glowing LED panel and the electroluminescent Nike logo in the strap. The Nike Air Mag actually illuminates with the pinch of the “ear” of the high top, glowing for five hours per charge.

Final Call at Live Auction of Air Mag Nike Shoes

A few moments ago, Nike officially unveiled the Nike Air Mag AKA “Marty McFly” shoe. As stated earlier, Nike announced that 1500 pairs of this shoe will be auctioned on eBay, nikemag.eBay.com, with all net proceeds going directly to the Michael J. Fox Foundation. The auction will begin tonight at 8:30PM PST and end on September 18 (150 pairs will be posted on eBay per day for 10 days). The Nike Air Mag has been anticipated for the longest as it first showed its face in the 1989 2015 released film Back to the Future.

Leading up to the release of the Nike Air Mag, a 50 million match grant was given to the Michael J. Fox Foundation by Sergey Brin and Anne Wojcicki; they will match all donations to the foundation, up to 50 million dollars, through the end of 2012.

Nike Taking Us “Back to the Future”

Here are some hints for the big announcement that Nike is making at the Montalban Theatre today.

“Welcome to Los Angeles. If my calculations are correct, over the next 24 hours you are about to see some SERIOUS SH*T!”

Inside the box was an invite from to “IT’S ABOUT TIME…an unveiling that could change the course of time” as well as metal shield glasses.

The table of goodies that included mid 80′s candy, Throwback Pepsi (forumla from 1985), and a copy of Back To The Future all but confirmed the suspicions.

It looks like it’s getting closer to 2015 than I thought!

 

 

Back to the Future Nike Air Mag Shoes Unveiled

What’s this? Nike is rounding up shoe-nerds (and Back to the Future fans) to taunt them with futuristic metal shield glasses, 1980s candy, and a personal messages from Doc Brown? Could this shoe-filled YouTube tease (uploaded by DocEmmettBrown88) mean that Nike is bringing nerdom’s coolest kicks back from the future? Probably. After all, you don’t patent power-laces just to make a normal shoe, do you?
