Design studio Accept & Proceed (a previous CR One To Watch) has been working with Nike on a project involving illustrators and trainers. "We were approached by Nike's Head of European Footwear, Andre Doxey, in January 2007," explains A&P's David Johnston, "with a view to starting a discussion on how we might help generate ideas and designs which could tell stories through iconic pieces of Nike footwear. Most of the themes that we came up with celebrated the innovation and technology found within Nike's footwear products. Some of the themes of these stories were; Seduced by Innovation and Recognise the original. As well as creating designs and illustrations for application to the product ourselves, we also selected and art directed third party creatives to help tell these stories – including Steven Wilson, Jon Burgerman, Oliver Hibert and Andy Forshaw.
Jon Burgerman provided the illustration that adorns this pair of Air Max 90s
Illustration work by Andy Forshaw was laser-etched into some of the fabric on this pair of Air Classic BWs
Oliver Hibert's illustration has been incorporated on a pair of Nike Air Max Plus (womens)

"The designs we have created are arriving in stores over the coming months, applied to footwear, points of sale and various online marketing items," adds Johnston. "This is the first of a number of ongoing projects that we're working on with Nike to hit the streets."

When you are wearing a pair of shoes walking on the road, others may not just see your pair
of shoes, but your taste, your personality.Therefore, how to choose a pair of shoes is a very
important thing.But many people do not notice this, so we will see a lot of people wearing
these that don't match.On behalf of a brand is in fact a kind of cognitive.Such as Coca-Cola
stands for "middle products", and Pepsi-Cola stands for "young".In the sports shoe brand,
nike dunk sb is also have their own representatives, it represents a stylish andcomfortable.
It is true, it have been accepted by the majority of young people.So I think that when you
choose shoes, pay attention to the meaning of the brand, choose their own characteristics,
personality suited to their shoes.The words of my personality, I prefer low dunk, because I
was more introverted kind of person.
