In Summer 2008 SHOWstudio partnered with Nike to challenge established and emerging artists, designers and creatives to devise new work inspired by the relationship between art and football. A team of 11 selected artists from around the world, including Gareth Pugh, Sølve Sundsbø and Rebecca & Mike created new work, alongside 11 finalists selected from world-wide competition entrants.

Fuse them together into something brand new but classic and timeless.
