Nike BMX China by Michael Lau.

May 25th, 2008 by Ann Stored in: Nike

Nike has specially invited Michael Lau, a China artist and toy designer, to design the new Niike China Federation BMX Racing Team Kit for the Olympics 2008 in Beijing.

Michael Lau was based in Hong Kong. He was a pioneer in creating vinyl toys. He had been asked to create other Nike attire before this new collaboration with Nike for BMX. One of his older collections included the Woodgrain Dunk collaboration. One of the new Nike BMX China packs has a composition of a blazer, shoe and toy.

The picture shows the shoe and toy. The shoe has a yellow colorway and red accents. The midsole is white with a yellow arrow painted in the middle of the midsole. The back stab is red and white with black lettering. The Nike swoosh is yellow too but manages to stand out. There is a drawing in black outline on some flames and this is situated above the Nike swoosh. Michael Lau has used the same basic color combination for the shoe, blazer and toy.

The blazer is red in color. The lettering for China and the Nike swoosh are in yellow color.

I like this package because of the efforts to have all the items share a co-ordinated look.
