Nike is kicking off the summer season with not only a new campaign of re-releasing some of the classic Nike Air Max styles with the limited edition Sunset Collection, they are making it a hunt for those in SF and NYC. On Thursday morning, May 23, Nike Sportswear will launch the Air Max Hunt, and by night, a select few in San Francisco and New York will go home with  limited-edition packs from the Air Max Sunset Collection.

Friend of Juxtapoz magazine, and former cover artist from September 2011, Neck Face, has just created a capsule collection with Nike SB that features a snapback hat, Blazer series, t-shirts, and backpack. With Neck Face having obvious ties in the skate world, its nice to see a simple logo treatment and some of the cleanest Blazers you will ever get. Look for the collection now... 

Last night, Nike invited Juxtapoz to check out their new pop-up space Pivot Point inside the new Barclay Center in downtown Brooklyn, home to the Brooklyn Nets. The occasion for the temporary space is to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Nike Air Force 1’s and this particular event was for the launch of the new Nike Air Force Bearbrick’s.

Last week, Nike invited Juxtapoz to their 21 Mercer space in SoHo, NYC, to create a pair of bespoke Nike SB Janoski’s, the newest addition to the customizable NikeID collection. We sent our good friend, director Colin Devin Moore to the studio to get his NikeID chops on, and who better to walk him through the process than, Stefan Janoski, himself.

Julia Sonmi Heglund is a freelance illustrator and graphic designer from Marietta, GA currently living in the Los Angeles area. Her whimsically grotesque style has been applied to t-shirt graphics, editorial illustrations, and gig posters, and her impressive list of clients includes The New York Times, BUST Magazine, MTV, and Nike.

Haze’s classic signature style is a staple in the graffiti world. His work became widely recognized after creating art for early hip-hop groups such as Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, and EPMD, as well as designing logos for MTV and Tommy Boy Records.  To celebrate Team USA and the thirtieth Olympiad, Haze created a large installation at the Nike Flagship store in New York. Filmed in the artist’s studio, the following video focuses on the artist’s inspiration for the show and the significance of symbols in his work.

Leading contemporary artist Tom Sachs has always had a fascination with space and space travel. We just didn't know he was going to create, with Nike, a Mars Yard Shoe, or an entire line of Nike gear to be worn when you are planning a trip to Mars. Just planning, not going. As Sachs notes on his site, "These shoes are built to support the bodies of the strongest minds in the aerospace industry." While they plan things.

Haven’t seen any new gear from New York based graffiti outfit, Irak Crew, in some time until now.  Crew member Ben Solomon joined forces with Nike and designed this patched, winter friendly destroyer jacket. Manhattan area code and “Whatever Forever” included.

WIth Nike SB having a stage last night at MOCA's "Art In the Streets," the team got to skate a Geoff McFetridge x Lance Mountain skate "park" that sits at the entryway of the exhibition's main hall. Coinciding with McFetridge and Nike SB at MOCA, a new Nike Dunk High is being released in super limited quantities to be auctioned off to benefit the MOCA Foundation. More after the jump . . .
