Sneakerball 2018

Organized by Nike's Black Employee Network, Sneaker Ball is a celebration of culture and social change during Black History Month. Paired with the Equality campaign, this year’s theme was “Until We All Win.” It focused on the personal stories of athletes and how sports can provide a stage for social change. Our job was to craft the environmental design and create an experience that would celebrate and inspire a movement.

The Wallway

The evening started in a hallway with disruptive LED-lit plexiglass wallways, encouraging guests to stop and read quotes from famous athletes in pursuit of equality. On the last wallway, guests were encouraged to add their own personal message.

BHM Collection

To pay homage to the footwear collection Nike released for this year’s Black History Month, we highlighted each shoe with an LED ring. 3D printed replicas patterned the wall and complemented each sneaker.
