There’s an old Nike adage, often credited to Phil Knight, that’s long driven the products they’ve created: “Always listen to the athlete.”<\/em><\/p>\n That doesn’t quite apply here, as Danish artist Patso Dimitrov imagines four Nike Basketball signatures with iconic album art graphics that simply look cool and don’t have much of a connection to the actual player.<\/p>\n Unless, of course, you can picture KD\u00a0jamming\u00a0to Pink Floyd or LeBron actually knowing who Joy Division is. (A Kobe quote about his affinity for Guns & Roses would surely be hilariously contrived, yet totally also a real press release thing.)<\/p>\n Dimitrov might not’ve spent a second of a brainstorm meeting with LeBron James, Kobe Byrant, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving or James Harden, but that didn’t stop him from offering up a multi-angled look at a Joy Division LeBron 12 Low, Daft Punk HyperChase, Pink Floyd KD 8, Guns & Roses Kobe X and (believably inspired) Tribe Called Quest Kyrie 1.<\/p>\n
