Description

This brochure exhibits two of Nike's most important corporate business objectives: innovation and design excellence. The aim was to present the new Nike Air technologies and explain their benefits to Nike sales reps in a fresh way. The layout of the brochure, through its simplicity and generous use of space, reinforces the lightweight "air" message. It juxtaposes a highly technical message with unconventional, yet easy to understand imagery.
