on sunday NIKE teamed up with legendary downtown photographer KAI REGAN to shoot the DESTROYER PROJECT in class photo style.
basically NIKE made a limited run of these black varsity jackets, perfectly donning flocked letters on the back that spell NEW YORK.
only a hand full were made in black and were given to a slew of folks that contribute to the ever changing landscape of NEW YORK CITY. including: SCOTT CAMPBELL, CURTIS KULIG, JAKE SUMNER, KEVIN KEARNY, DEE & RICKY, LUCIEN SMITH, TIM BRODHAGEN, RICKY SAIZ, BRANDEE BROWN, AARON BROBOW, SIMONEZ WOLF, JACK GREER and CHRIS SHONTING…oh and MOI, VASHTIE!
the jackets are super sick. DECEMBER 18th, the white version goes on sale at 21 MERCER. i shot a behind the scenes that will be ready for viewing shortly! it was FUN!…
PS: it all took place in the PJ’s of the lower east side, grimey and great!
ALL ARE WELCOME TO COME SEE THE UNVEILING OF THE PHOTO AT 21 MERCER!!!
++++++++++
*true story, RICKY asked me to braid his hair on set and KAI took notice and asked us to do it for the photo. it was quite fitting since we were in the projects. next time we need a stoop and some gel…
*SHOUTOUT TO PR, HERON, ALEX and JULIEN at NIKE!!!
