Designed by Brooklyn-based, world-renowned artist Brian Donnelly, the court embodies Nike’s drive to elevate sport, culture and community through innovative collaborations. It is part of the Nike’s latest campaign: New York Made.
For Donnelly this project was somewhat personal; growing up on the corner of Clinton and Stanton Street in the 90s, he would often walk past these courts.
“I always think about when I was young and the things I had interaction with, whether it was skateboard graphics or magazines, and how art reached me. I’ve been conscious of how my work disseminates and reaches people”.
This installment can be enjoyed by all at the Sara D. Roosevelt Park in Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
