The Nature of Motion Exhibition via NikeLab
Next week, sportswear giant Nike will throw open the doors to an exhibition titled
The Nature of Motion, which will be staged as part of Milano Design Week 2016 in
Milan.
Partnering with ten contemporary designers (who range from furniture designers to
architects), the exhibition will feature a “series of experiments in natural motion
that explore the future potential of footwear design” created by Nike’s team.
For this show, each designer was given a pair of Nike Flyknit Superfly trainers to play
around with. They were asked to exploring the sensation of running, and so created
shoes fitted with soles constructed from a variety of objects including hair rollers,
dish brushes and small stones.
The show will also coincide with the launch of the brand’s latest show, NikeLab Free
RN Motion Flyknit.
