Abstract landscapes and expressive type

Abstract landscapes and expressive type

For Nike Air Max 270 React, bold expressive typography mirrors the wavy, dynamic design of the trainer.

The shoe appears to float within abstract landscapes formed from oversized Nike Swooshes, with vibrant colours drawn directly from the product. The result is a playful, energetic visual world that reflects the movement and colour of the sneaker itself.

Legacy, culture and celebration

For Air Jordan XIII, the design pays homage to the Jordan legacy and the cultural significance of the silhouette.

The poster direction connects the shoe to its Chinese New Year theme, using composition, colour and detail to create a richer, more celebratory expression while keeping the sneaker as the focal point.

Performance, structure and 3D type

For Nike Air Zoom Vapor Cage 4, a cylindrical 3D typographic structure creates a more architectural composition.

The trainer sits at the base of the form, giving the poster a sense of structure, height and performance while highlighting the shoe’s more technical character.
