AJXVII ‘Lightning’Art DirectionSP24
Art Direction & Design for the launch of the Air Jordan Retro 17 ‘Lightning’ low. 

Jordan and designer Wilson Smith III both share a love for Jazz, so Wilson drew inspiration from the genre and Jordan’s ability to improvise mid-flight. For the launch we paired with Obsidian Works, neighborhood partners, and creators who embody the same creative spirit, for a multi-city photo shoot and launch event.
