Nanpei Design Co. — Graphic Design & Art Direction

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. 

Art Direction: Jonny Nanpei, Jessie Grayson 
Narrative: Zachary Schomburg
Production: Andrew Sakai, Damian Rodriguez, Haley Hope-Hicks
