I'm sure I may be the last one to notice this, but seems NIKE has been vivaciously tapping into / crossing over with the designer-toy subculture with oodles of commissioned projects internationally - what with 2007's massive 400% WINDRUNNER
BEA@RBRICK customs promotions (in Singapore) and more recently with
DGPH for Nike Argentina,
Coolrain for Korea and even
Michael Lau for BMX China Federation ... and now James Jarvis for Niketown in London (right /

Wow! Wouldn't it be cool if JLed put as much effort into his toys as he has these posters, he might release something worth buying!
ReplyDeleteThe Bull and bloodied claw thing in particular are excellent. Love the angles of the arms, it's a real shame all these elements get toned down for his toys so they don't reflect the dynamic nature of his original drawings.
