They invited creatives, sent them each a brand new pair of NIKE shoes and asked them to use sport as inspiration to challenge their function.<br /><br />The 78 participants for NIKE78 are located in London, Manchester, Cardiff and other parts of the UK, as well as in Amsterdam, Berlin, New York, Russia, Tokyo and Australia.<br /><br />An exhibition showcase of all 78 designs is planned for the <a href="http://www.londondesignfestival.com/">London Design Festival 2010. </a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo LAB's Air Max Abuko Aquarium</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjca-5VyGFCK-eHWrxzuu9K1-tCS_cAWP7Y5MX1k8BrVUWymP3QAJj_t00012yLnaY8sXH9_N3Ho7enBuK-3fZKcusLpUUGOsbSciU9t8zTL7PIknbcTnA5kbvZ9VxrSOWOxD-Ex-i7UyIv/s1600/Picture-34.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477937150777033410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjca-5VyGFCK-eHWrxzuu9K1-tCS_cAWP7Y5MX1k8BrVUWymP3QAJj_t00012yLnaY8sXH9_N3Ho7enBuK-3fZKcusLpUUGOsbSciU9t8zTL7PIknbcTnA5kbvZ9VxrSOWOxD-Ex-i7UyIv/s400/Picture-34.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 534px; height: 467px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIUFbqRYGI_eFURrKD1FugAfG0ZEmJlXTE0JoZOu_wFHqdmCoZFRjo_IybP5w3lBE3ywuMmwCFxmYokVtcv4CguyMK3_vwthEpQ3OfRx-E1z5YcVZQS5f3yMCud3knIjeMw-FO2pLMYbWA/s1600/Picture-35.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477937072836602018" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIUFbqRYGI_eFURrKD1FugAfG0ZEmJlXTE0JoZOu_wFHqdmCoZFRjo_IybP5w3lBE3ywuMmwCFxmYokVtcv4CguyMK3_vwthEpQ3OfRx-E1z5YcVZQS5f3yMCud3knIjeMw-FO2pLMYbWA/s400/Picture-35.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 532px; height: 401px;" /></a><br />‘ABUKU -泡-’<br /><br />The shoes we received were AIR MAX 360, which emphasizes the air in the soles more than any other NIKE shoe. So we decided to create something based on the concept of air, the main quality of this model.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif_MS8Jp_Eyo1XL_D4WpvGKndGlpa5KHb5UXMIYbhlrNmoLfi9XE5gEkx5xmyQWB21pPchxPcANW6LXV_FVE2K7mDkc6EfI7lyJ8hYuYjUvld-ZuO8RGz2Aaex9C3fJ9LHI55feWdiAXCs/s1600/Picture+32.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477935885810436626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif_MS8Jp_Eyo1XL_D4WpvGKndGlpa5KHb5UXMIYbhlrNmoLfi9XE5gEkx5xmyQWB21pPchxPcANW6LXV_FVE2K7mDkc6EfI7lyJ8hYuYjUvld-ZuO8RGz2Aaex9C3fJ9LHI55feWdiAXCs/s400/Picture+32.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 531px; height: 238px;" /></a><br />What we did was keep the soles filled with air as is, but take off the upper part of the shoe and use it to mold a clear material into that shape. This became an aquarium for goldfish, a representative aquarium fish in Japan.<br /><br />What you can see from the relationship between a goldfish and air in this microcosm, a shoe, is the human society and the microcosm that contains it. It’s the relationship between the earth/nature and creatures, and the correlation between athletes and NIKE, who contributes to the characteristics of the human body by giving air to shoes. That is the thinking behind the name of this art piece, the ABUKU (Japanese “BUBBLE”).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdZGmnltqUi8Eu8-b7Hr58GtYAZ3gyeJL1w7l8Jpzb2U5w8I_i51Q0IGWmQy0wdXw9ViEZLm7ojgZajzNiSWLzUuym0tfX5AedB-JmsJ6NYR6AZxpoOnngKm3EsgA20OvITmOAwHaYlBj0/s1600/Picture-33.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477937263656411138" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdZGmnltqUi8Eu8-b7Hr58GtYAZ3gyeJL1w7l8Jpzb2U5w8I_i51Q0IGWmQy0wdXw9ViEZLm7ojgZajzNiSWLzUuym0tfX5AedB-JmsJ6NYR6AZxpoOnngKm3EsgA20OvITmOAwHaYlBj0/s400/Picture-33.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 532px; height: 418px;" /></a><br /><br />We hope that the people who see this small aquarium built on NIKE Air will stop to think about the artificial/natural environments that surround us and the connection between humans and other living creatures.

In running it is about the power of the athlete and how far they can push themselves, no technology is involved, and the sole of the shoe is where the athlete transfers this power to the surface. This became the basis for the typeface. I used the soles of the shoe to create prints and based the typeface on the digital timer seen at the end of the 100m track.<br /><br />I have created three posters, ‘On Your Marks’ based on the start of the race, the second ‘Leave Your Mark’ which is about making an impression and leaving a legacy behind and the third is the time of Usain Bolt’s 100m world record ‘09.58′, an inspiration to fast runners. The word ‘marks’ is effective as I have used the shoes to print them and it is also a term used at the start of a running race -- <a href="http://www.adriannewell.co.uk/"> Adrian Newell</a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Erica Dorn's Marathon Shoe Cake</span></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCODryRTKGCfWWMCBYhh7DYziGTLkaY_SDEhWl1kKHImui1ot32lV9fU9dMXUBbu8oPtJFpN0xUqp-w5PRK4zUknXDtoCXYiRdR6X_PZw-GhCWDmnkF9fVDXNUpSEFHTE_DQUULKfzbt28/s1600/Sara-Nike-Shoot-13.05.10_60_edited.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477944203963642722" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCODryRTKGCfWWMCBYhh7DYziGTLkaY_SDEhWl1kKHImui1ot32lV9fU9dMXUBbu8oPtJFpN0xUqp-w5PRK4zUknXDtoCXYiRdR6X_PZw-GhCWDmnkF9fVDXNUpSEFHTE_DQUULKfzbt28/s400/Sara-Nike-Shoot-13.05.10_60_edited.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 537px; height: 357px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5C5UmiJbeXd09_HpA-mEdWOEna6a9XwM3tafN_73uGCniTIPWoQfeF1sNkGIuXhAYWuDnV-sSZZx_O1fY8xLaBE95C5w5XMgjZRfMUUSL2TDSzngjzHHWuU0LkvwZdOLdjNey_c34g_dL/s1600/IMG_6658.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477944427278940418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5C5UmiJbeXd09_HpA-mEdWOEna6a9XwM3tafN_73uGCniTIPWoQfeF1sNkGIuXhAYWuDnV-sSZZx_O1fY8xLaBE95C5w5XMgjZRfMUUSL2TDSzngjzHHWuU0LkvwZdOLdjNey_c34g_dL/s400/IMG_6658.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 534px; height: 356px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcNI9NTmgcNM8_-b7SOTmY_Labrk3GH71QPRAv4qK8xE-ibIQGYn7b7gb_QNfZke2_kZ7_0__Zxjcxcp2wO015uzsH-nt6RHKMjnV_xZjcJDD0zvkms03kWTaKlZmnKvF8bYa2J7HtahJU/s1600/Sara-Nike-Shoot-13.05.10_72_edit.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477944034253414866" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcNI9NTmgcNM8_-b7SOTmY_Labrk3GH71QPRAv4qK8xE-ibIQGYn7b7gb_QNfZke2_kZ7_0__Zxjcxcp2wO015uzsH-nt6RHKMjnV_xZjcJDD0zvkms03kWTaKlZmnKvF8bYa2J7HtahJU/s400/Sara-Nike-Shoot-13.05.10_72_edit.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 354px;" /></a><br />The Marathon Cake is the edible negative calorific equivalent of a full-length marathon.

Their sole purpose is to make running more comfortable, a training aid for training the body. However what makes an athlete truly great is their mental conditioning and mind strength. So I decided to use my pair of trainers (the tread) as a means to train the mind, specifically mental perseverance. - Jonathan Bartlett<br /><br /><p><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >‘These Shoes Are Made For Kicking’ </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3bcq153KpG2qzu_APFwaqRMXK0EkLrHZie0CFaMKSMtO-u3IQ-H4Im5L1id8udhuR8U6CifbVmtVHeMaoAcTFkVjHfFBEdEgd54fm12tz8oo2tlNCkPw-n4cbOct807lQGDx-zQe4VzOV/s1600/football2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477960054636458498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3bcq153KpG2qzu_APFwaqRMXK0EkLrHZie0CFaMKSMtO-u3IQ-H4Im5L1id8udhuR8U6CifbVmtVHeMaoAcTFkVjHfFBEdEgd54fm12tz8oo2tlNCkPw-n4cbOct807lQGDx-zQe4VzOV/s400/football2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 373px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-8kv3c7N4qlhfGKN4902pTQFWF6ijIk8iRmK5nSPdSpcGkSau53KDJJftDq_oYg4kbP_-F35lGhKsotpnRYuOyaAQNlzkbVyLYVbMXiNhdbFStE9i8mDpvX2wmEuaFKXMfjlycfWl7_O/s1600/football1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477959894135342370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-8kv3c7N4qlhfGKN4902pTQFWF6ijIk8iRmK5nSPdSpcGkSau53KDJJftDq_oYg4kbP_-F35lGhKsotpnRYuOyaAQNlzkbVyLYVbMXiNhdbFStE9i8mDpvX2wmEuaFKXMfjlycfWl7_O/s400/football1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 529px; height: 396px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTjTG7ECjVM4hanr40HVF5kecUY6wV1uS_NJLki6o6g2O7z214DmjF7z3Uq2MjMIvTCFNjHJO7SnJZZtqHM6LnmaTD1e11y83YEfR1B9gF7TIfWtn0m0e4gPv1RHMap9t4csU69TZBvE63/s1600/football3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477959786842198178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTjTG7ECjVM4hanr40HVF5kecUY6wV1uS_NJLki6o6g2O7z214DmjF7z3Uq2MjMIvTCFNjHJO7SnJZZtqHM6LnmaTD1e11y83YEfR1B9gF7TIfWtn0m0e4gPv1RHMap9t4csU69TZBvE63/s400/football3.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 413px;" /></a></p> I looked at the shoes I was sent and the term ’sport’ didn’t seem to fit. There were elements of sport, but there was also a lot of design that was purely aesthetic. I wanted to concentrate on this observation, and make something out of the shoes that spoke more clearly about sport. I created a football using as much of the shoes and box as possible, although due to the materials probably more of a statement than actually something you could play a full 90 minutes with - <a href="http://www.stephencheetham.com/"> Stephen Cheetham</a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkG53HGhQXZYAGg9_o-bR3ZOMBPQGEGJJSQ-mZBKx6sVNXEIXkv2sNrAYqFDvn1UtABJnQche-B1fjxEwzWP5aSeRnxx3le5y_xB5xcQlMtcXTQNnjym_hfDvtiGf_QYCOYX1ej19tl0Z_/s1600/Picture+36.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477939005128229906" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkG53HGhQXZYAGg9_o-bR3ZOMBPQGEGJJSQ-mZBKx6sVNXEIXkv2sNrAYqFDvn1UtABJnQche-B1fjxEwzWP5aSeRnxx3le5y_xB5xcQlMtcXTQNnjym_hfDvtiGf_QYCOYX1ej19tl0Z_/s400/Picture+36.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 304px; height: 95px;" /></a><br />See all of the projects at <a href="http://www.nike78.co.uk/">Nike78</a>
