Nike: Saquon Air Trainer 3

Product Design

The objective was to design a special Air Trainer III for Saquon Barkley. We used 90’s NY fashion as a starting point to build a palette and story for him. The shoe features two gold chains and his logo built into the original design of the shoe

“A modern throwback three decades in the making, the Nike Air Trainer 3 returns in full force this season. Gaining acclaim with Bo Jackson in the '90s, the Air Trainer 3 has now been re-imagined by Saquon Barkley, an athlete inspired by Bo who's defining his own legacy. The Nike Saquon Air Trainer 3 features nods to New York across the body of the shoe—including the reflective detailing tailored to look like the construction zones that have helped shape New York. Saquon's lightning logo is found on the heel of the shoe, his number, 26, is seen on the tongue and two black stripes over the left lateral Swoosh are highlighted in honor of the eyeblack Saquon plans to wear on the field this season. Ultimately, each personal detail underscores how the Air Trainer 3 has been reimagined to fit a new era and reflect Saquon's signature style.”
