If running never made you hungry, then you weren’t running hard enough. Nike Sportswear commissioned the likes of eight artists, designers, and the like to give their piece of Nike Sportswear art to showcase at the 1912 Space. Olle Hemmendorff definitely seemed hungry when he constructed his Nike Air Max 90 Hamburger. The upper consists of sesame seed bun, with a cheese covering outlining the swoosh. The laces are also cheesed out with tomatoes as the lace panels. The midsole is where the meat is at, with a tomato as the Air Max logo. Ketchup outlines the Air Max unit in the midsole, and the bottom of the bun serves as the outsole. This is a great piece of art dedicated to NSW, but too bad it doesn’t have a long shelf life.
