In 7 days INSA ran east London, painting 35 pieces along Charlie Dark’s map for The IAM1 Journey Nike Sportswear project. Produced by Protein and documented by INSA’s long time collaborator, photographer Ethel, each of the 35 hand painted pieces form one of the centre pieces of INSAs major London solo show for 2009. This IAM1 Journey animation will be deconstructed within the “Looking For Love In All The Wrong Places” show with behind-the-scenes processes alongside the original painted objects that make up the individual frames.
James Jarvis is an illustrator most known for his Amos Toys brand. Having decorated NikeTown London last year Jarvis builds his relationship with Nike by producing a short cartoon entitled Onwards.

Getting ready for Spring the people at Nike are releasing these Terminator Lows. Coming in a green and red colourway they have been treated to boast worn-in detailing even when they are fresh out of the box. Featuring a white swoosh and midsole with contrasting leather upper and outersole.
One for the DJ’s, Serato and their Whitelabel.net music label have given a fitting tribute to DJ A-Trak. The label’s first 1000 promotional custom picture disks will serve as a Serato control disc. On the graphical flipside will be the track “Say Whoa” with the excitingly visible “Mr. A” as designed by Dust La Rock. A product based on tradition, combined with recent movements towards digitisation, with a hint of creative flair and rolled in exclusivity.
Nike are doing it again for the Chinese “sneaker” heads (and anyone else wishing to jump on the bandwagon). The new Chinese year starts 26 January 2009, the Ox will reign and prosper once again. Traditionally only Air Force 1′s had undergone the new year makeover but in recent years other models have been added to the lineup. The “Year of the Ox” pack will include a mix up of Nike’s, Blazer Mid Premium and Air Max 1.
With the success of NIKEiD trainers the sport apparel leaders are now coming at you with custom colour windrunners. You’ll be able to choose from 10 different top and bottom colours whilst also being able to iD the hood. Currently only available to South East Asian heads, so you’ll have to hold tight for this one!
