Thanks to DQM, we’ve got a full look at the Nike Blazer and its packaging designed by Micheal Lau for the Chinese BMX team. We spoke to Lau not long ago about the project, and learned about his background in the sport. The box finds inspiration in the BMX course itself. No surprise, one of Lau trademark designer toys finds it’s way in the package, especially cool is the trading of feet clad in the shoe for the bikes wheels. No release date yet, but keep your eyes peeled for flashes of yellow in Beijing.

As most of you should know by now, southeast China was recently hit by a major earthquake. Thousands were injured and killed by the natural catastrophe. 
Hiroshi Fujiwara reports that they will probably be releasing a Fragment Design x Nike Tennis Classic "Panda" pack, which will be auctioned off and proceeds will be donated to the victims of the earthquake. The panda was chosen as the main inspiration for the pack, as it stands for China and more importantly one of the main panda regions of China has been hit by the earthquake.
This is a similar action to the auction held for Niigata. At the time they had made a pack of HTM Air Force 1’s.
There is not set date yet for the auction as the incident just happened, nevertheless Fujiwara already gives us a first look at the sneakers.
This is definitely a great initiative that you should support as much as possible!

Along with its apparel and footwear for overall 22 sports, Nike also presented in Beijing the Olympics version of their newly developed Hyperdunk. 
Nike’s lightest and strongest basketball shoe owes its existence to Nike’s revolutionary Flywire technology as it made its transition from track spikes to basketball. Flywire is the innovation driving Nike’s strongest and lightest footwear. Super-strong nylon filaments provide precise support akin to the suspension cables in a bridge, and allow a radical reduction in weight with material only where it’s needed for structure.
For the special occasion, the Chinese team got their very own version of the shoe in their team colors.

In the 70’s, Warrior basketball sneakers were a much sought after status symbol in China. After they became no longer objects of desire. Now a young Chinese-born graphic design student of Helsinki decided first to photograph those who, in China, still wear them (elder and poor villagers doing physical labour) and then to gather all pictures and publish them in a book, released in limited edition.

The book will be sold in a special packaging along with a pair of original Warrior sneakers. Shumeng Ye tries to redefine the idea of the label “Made in China”.
A very interesting project and it’s always good to remind people what was out there. Colette will have the pack in stock soon.
