Perhaps the first footprint-on-the-moon connotations are in place on purpose, but all the same, the 'Nike Kleins Monochromes' collection by +41 has a definite aesthetic appeal.
Pressed into "Yves Klein Blue" pigments, three iconic sneaker soles are immortalized in an artist-trademarked color, making them a part of history. Commissioned by the company's Switzerland office, the 'Nike Kleins Monochromes' are magnified photographs that will footmark the walls of the new Bassersdorf Nike showroom.
