The Nike Sportswear team have collaborated with six different artists from around the world on a unique project which sets out to celebrate the beautiful game of football. Each chosen artist has been given the honour of designing a footwear pack which represents their home country in a modern and vibrant way. The first two footwear packs to drop here at End are ‘Team England’ and ‘Team Brazil’, design by James Jarvis and Nuca respectively.

British graphic artist James Jarvis is probably best know for his illustrations and Medicom Toy ranges, but he is also a serious sportsman and competitive marathon runner. Such a background makes him a perfect candidate to design the ‘Team England’ pack. James has reworked the Air Zoom Tiempo, Air Footscape Motion and the Air Lunar Rejuven8 Mid to stunning effect, representing his country, and producing a pack of highly wearable shoes.

Brazilian street artist Nuca has re-worked four styles to represent his country, The Air Zoom Tiempo, The Dunk High AC, the Lunar Chukka Woven + and the Air BW Gen II. Nuca has used the coulours of the Brazilian flag to great effect when re-working these four styles.

Still to come we have packs from Artist So Me (France), Delta (Netherlands), Mister Cartoon (USA) and Kronk (South Africa). Head to the Nike section now to check out Team England and Team Brazil…
