Nike x Rostarr running collection

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Inspired by run crew culture and marathons, the #nike x #rostarrcollection merges the artist’s calligraphy-inspired drawings with favorites from #nike #running footwear and apparel. Working with #nike designers, Rostarr approached the collection as a blank canvas, creating pieces that appear to be in forward motion.
“This project is about isolating the energy that happens when you run with a big group of #people,” says Rostarr. “I tried to capture the rhythm and feeling of movement created when #people run a race–that surge of energy.”
To create one of the exclusive prints for the collection, Rostarr used his signature sweeping brushstrokes to design a pattern of abstract runners. The result is a wave of runners crossing the finish line.
The black-and-white collection includes tanks, tees, the #nike Impossibly Light jacket and the #nike Epic Lux tight for both men and women.
For footwear, runners can choose from the #nike Free RN, the #nike Air Zoom Pegasus 33, the #nike LunarGlide 8 and the #nike Air Zoom Structure 20.
The #nike x Rostarr #running Collection is available October 20 at global retailers worldwide and on #nike.com.
About Rostarr
Romon K. Yang aka Rostarr is an abstract painter, calligrapher and filmmaker living and working in Brooklyn, New York. In 1994, he graduated from the School of Visual Arts with a focus in experimental graphic design, typography and printmaking. After graduating, he developed his reputation as an artist capable of producing both fine art and graphic design, and as a creative innovator, uniquely adept at blurring the lines of these divergent fields. For the past two decades, he has built an extensive oeuvre of abstract polymorphic paintings, totemic iconographic characters and mostly monotone calligraphic artworks. His artwork has been reviewed in Artforum, Modern Painters, The New York Times, The Village Voice, and Libération—among other notable publications. A true citizen of the world, he has produced solo exhibitions in Tokyo, Paris, Milan, New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Puerto Rico, and has participated in group shows on both the national and international levels.
