NIKE x COOL KIDS x GROTESK x STOUDEMIRE x GRIFFEY JR X BOSH x JACKSON Video

April 18th, 2011

That is a whole lot of people involved in one video. Key terms: Grotesk did this video with Nike that the Cool Kids wrote the track for, including Amare Stoudemire of the NY Knicks, Ken Griffey Jr of baseball fame, Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat, and Philadelphia Eagles star DeSean Jackson. All for the new Nike Air Max.

Grotesk designs Nike’s Destroyer Journal 1

December 2nd, 2010

DESTROYER 1 664x974 545x800 Grotesk designs Nikes Destroyer Journal 1 Nike jets jacket Grotesk destroyer journal destroyer Darrelle Revis

Here is a bunch of spreads of the Destroyer Journal that Grotesk art directed and designed for Nike with his new company Doubleday & Cartwright… Nike is really pushing this Destroyer jacket, as noted by the Darrelle Revis billboard in SF’s Union Square right now with the Destroyer jacket on. Not sure how many SF cats are Jets’ fans, but Nike is betting otherwise. The Niners could use him, but we digress…

Our very good friend Grotesk has had a busy Fall, working on a bunch of different projects and collaborations. What did he work on? First, head to Nolita, and check the wall that he designed for the RED Campaign to raise money and awareness to fight AIDS in Africa.
