Project type: Nike shoe concepts and artistic interpretation.

Concepts: Gianfranco Fagotto.

Year: 2022.

Background: I simply love Nike. I have been a real fan since 1990 when I got my Air Trainer 1s.
Now here is a short story. It all started when I was living in Quito (ECU), and going to a French high school. My dear friend Santiago and I used to design shoes during our spare time between lessons. He would create designs for Adidas and I would proudly do the same for Nike.

At some point, I decided to send my 15-20 concepts over to Nike's HQ in Beaverton (OR). I was sixteen at that time, so I wasn't expecting any response whatsoever. Surprisingly, after a couple of months circa, someone replied with a letter, a sticker and a t-shirt with the famous 'Just Do It' slogan. Needless to say, I was absolutely delighted! That was what really cemented my love for the brand.
As you scroll through the page, you will find my concepts of Nike shoes, with a personal twist that is inspired by art, fashion, materials (ceramic, carnival glass, glass, lace, alcantara, etc.), and technology.
