Nike commission young artists for Air Max 270 React bespoke pieces

To celebrate the release of the Air Max 270 React, Nike commissioned a series of artists to create bespoke art pieces inspired by each of the trainers’ colourways.

Featuring touches of Impressionism, Pop Art, Bauhaus, American Modern, Mid Century, Optical Art, Psychedelic and Geometric, each of the seven trainers tells its own unique story.

Each artist used the colourway of an allocated trainer as the colour pallete for a piece. Names of the artists, their art and what their work relates is shown below.

Bauhaus / Moses Adesanya / @moadesanya

Geometric / Jasmin Sehra / @jasminsehra

Mid Century / Denzel Kessie / @bllackline

Psychedelic / HAM the illustrator / @hamtheillustrator

Impressionism / Koby Martin / @koby_martin

American Modern / Kingsley Nebechi / @kingsleynebechi

Optical / Erin Aniker / @erinaniker

The Air Max 270 collection is available now from Nike and other selected retailers.
