I flipped when I peeped the previews from the Parisian photographist, Phoks, for his upcomming
Kicks Series exhibit at Creativity Lab. While it’s not exactly a new idea to combine art with Nikes,
Brian Jungen’s work with Air Jordan’s immediately comes to mind and the more recent origami
Air Yeezy project by Filippo Perin, Phoks has managed to tastefully merge portraits on sneakers.
In only 3 years, Phoks has surpassed the title of ‘up and commer’ and has since made a name for
himself using high-tech imagery, flashy colors and mixing influences such as cartoons, pop culture,
sneakers and fashion. The Kicks Series exhibit will feature NIKE DUNK HI, JORDAN or AIR FORCE
with overlays of cultural icons, all in black and white.
Check out the other previews after the jump.
