Basic description of the project:
When Nike launched Nike Free Run+, Nike Japan asked us to create buzz for the shoe, its flexibility and Nike+ compatibility. To do so, we created the Nike Music Shoe, a functioning musical instrument that creates sound when bent. We collaborated with Rhizomatiks to develop and produce 8 music shoes. Break beats unit HIFANA wrote and performed the song. The video became a hit on YouTube, gathering well over 500,000 views within the first 10 days of its release.
