World Basketball Festival NYC – Part 3

Here’s the last of the footage…the majority of the photos are of the “Make Something” experience, which was probably the best thing I saw the entire trip. It is located on Bowery and Houston, and I don’t think it’s open to the public, but if you can weasel your way in there, I highly suggest doing so.

Nike, Air Jordan, and Converse teamed up with artists Aaron Rose, Eric Elms, Carrie Mundane (Cassette Playa), Todd Selby, DJ A-trak, and others on creating this space that gave teenagers from the NY area a truly unique experience. The artists conducted workshops, teaching the kids a variety of creative acitivities such as music editing, sign painting, poster drawing, plus clothing and sneaker design!

The space was littered with all the artwork and some actual products were sampled and produced as well, such as the Nike Destroyer Varsity Jackets, Converse All-stars, and Nike Hyperdunks.

The kids worked on a unique hybrid shoe that fused sneaker elements from the Nike, Jordan, and Converse brand…truly one of a kind.

As much as I liked the U.S. jacket, the France jacket may have been the best…
