Nike Special Make-Ups: Musik

Nowadays there are hundreds of sneaker collaborations with musician!
Here's a look at some of the first bonds between Nike and music:

Back in 1975, Nike was keen to top Adidas on the track, field, and court
fronts, but a commission from Elton John, in his most prolific period, to
make a apir of multicolored sneakers couldn't be ignored.
Geoff Hollister
equipped him with a curious Roadrunner/Cortez mix, and Elton dedicated
a song in his set to the brand.
Years later it was
placed on eBay by an ex bouncer from a club that had
them on a wall display after a visit by Elton.




After Nike was outfitting Elton and his tour crew in 1980, the sneaker-
musician rollout flourished. Stars like Rod Stewart, Devo and reportedly
Bob Marley, were also honored with a special makeup runner silhouette
around that time.

Nike Elite DEVO SMU - 1980

Nike realized the power of music marketing, but
the Eighties and
Nineties offered a new platform for product placement: Sitcoms!


More about Seinfeld and Home Improvement soon...
Many thanks to Gary Warnett for additional material, info and inspiration

Kids of the Night

Lunar Flow

Monday, April 18, 2011

Finally confirmed!





I was anxious the original model would not be released and I would have
to put up with another Nike frankenstein (lunar flow), but fortunately
this beauty is due to July.
Together with the original colour Nike will also offer some alternative CWs.
The summer may come!


Show love
