+41 x GROTESK NIKEiD BESPOKE FOR SNEAKERNESS `09
Zürich, April 28th. For this years Sneakerness event in Zürich Nike invited the two Swiss artists and designers Grotesk and +41 to create an exclusive and unique pair of sneakers with NikeiD Bespoke. Two iconic shoes served as inspiration for the design - the Air Jordan 3 and the Air Jordan Sky High. The result, the NikeiD Bespoke designed by +41 and Grotesk, will be on display the first time ever during the Sneakerness on May 9th 2009 in Zürich.
The Story
Grotesk and +41 are both Swiss, living and working in two different countries. +41 is based in Lausanne, Switzerland and Grotesk in Brooklyn, USA. Independently they came up with the idea to refer to a vintage Air Jordan design, +41 to the Air Jordan Sky High and Grotesk to the Air Jordan 3. It’s the first time ever they work together. As they could not meet in person, both Philippe from +41 in Switzerland and Grotesk at the NikeiD Studio on 21 Mercer in New York City, collaborated online and created this Nike iD Bespoke sneaker.
The Sneaker
With tons of possibilities when creating a Nike iD Bespoke they decided to take an honest and simple design approach. This in many ways is sympathetic of the existing design elements: One example is the 3 red laces rings referring to those of the AJ3. The shoe itself is well balanced just right with a choice of colors that are very subtle. Both designers felt strongly that they wanted to design a shoe more classical, more elegant and referential to what they would really like to wear, going deep into the design detail using simplicity without using and abusing the many colors and materials that are available.
