Love them or hate them, Nike demands attention with its lowbrow and graffiti art. Graffiti has made the leap from the street to the boardroom and is such a hot genre right now. The lowbrow nature of the medium is hugely undervalued in the grand scheme of the art world, but Nike is embracing the style with collaborations all over the world.
This installment is displayed in Nike’s innovative TPE 6453 creative space in Taipei, where the latest leg of the international IAM1 Journey was hosted.
This exhibition incorporated the Nike Air Max 1, which later developed into the Air Maxim 1. The artists include SILLY THING, ANO, Alien, PhalanX Studio, and Lei Lei.
