Be Legendary. Nike Branding Concept for Tokyo 2020

Daniele Caruso is a freelance illustrator based in Swindon, United Kingdom. He is working mainly in illustration, graphic design and branding. We are taking a look at his branding concept for Nike: Be Legendary, for the upcoming and anticipated Tokyo 2020. With the tagline "legendary", Daniele included mythological creatures to create an artistic atmosphere alongside with the colour palette that totally reminds me of Dotonbori (the bright heart) from Osaka, Japan. What do you think? Would you like this kind of visual approach if it was from Nike.

Celebrating the 45th Anniversary of Nike Cortez

If your're a huge Nike fan you'll love this celebrating website for the Nike Cortez, a model that was created on the 70's and since then won subtle design adjust during the decades. I have to say that all off them are so cool that I could buy today the first model and use it with no shame. Take a look that and explore the decades, also if you think you still love one of those models, maybe you can buy one of them to celebrate together. Visit: circulardev.com/nike/cortez.

Industrial Design: Nike Advanced Training Jacket Concept

I think I’ve mentioned it before but I am a huge fan of the Nike brand. I just love how they experiment all the time with their products and material. And at the same time it’s great to see designers going down this path as well. Let’s take a look at this concept by Joseph Cooper of a Nike Advanced Training Jacket. What’s particular from this concept is the use of battery (for charging) and sensors for tracking the performance of the athlete. The attention to the details are spot-on and I can’t wait to see more from Joseph in the near future.

Selected Nike Projects by Pawel Nolbert

We always love featuring the work from Pawel Nolbert, his work is always wildly impressive and refreshing all the time. Pawel has this distinctive style on how he will experience and experiment with different mediums to create new styles. Another thing I really enjoy about Pawel’s work is the choice of his colour palette, very vibrant and so elegant at the same time.

Nike: Make It Paris

User Experiences aren't only for the subject of the Web. It's also built for everything around you and some you barely noticed it at all. Building a great user experience is creating a memorable moment for the user so the flow is enjoyable and simple. For one of the best cases to test this theory are the  In-Store Interactive Experiences. Shopping is a common action for most of us BUT creating an experience is definitely a challenge.

Case Study: Nike LunarEpic Flyknit

We are happily sharing a tremendous case study of the new reinvented Nike LunarEpic Flyknit running shoe by/in global collaboration with Tendril and Blacklist and more. Together, they've worked on making the teaser, launch film, and global Nike in-store installations. Sit back and enjoy one of the best projects we've seen lately on Abduzeedo.

Nike Football Untouchable Packaging

Some of us might think that Branding is going to the same direction as Print where the Digital World is taking over things. I'd liked to think to the contrary where I feel creative projects can be achieved just like this beautiful project from Hovercraft. Nike Football asked us to create a limited package for their most technically advanced cleat, the Vapor Untouchable.

Swooshart - Nike Meets Classic Art

The Nike symbol, also known as the Swoosh, is one of the most important icons of modern culture. The simplicity is memorable and we can spot and identify anywhere around the globe. Now, imagine merging this iconic logo with a classic painting from the Baroque and Renaissance? The guys behind Swooshart http://swooshart.tumblr.com/ have been making that reality. It's somewhat of a clash of ideologies and styles but in my opinion they look awesome.
