In the beginning of 2012, Nike teamed up with University of the Arts London and renowned artist Dave White to launch a project that would inspire young artists and designers to create original prints for a collection of Nike t-shirts.

Dave White and the Dean of Design at LCC offered guidance to the design graduates from some of the best art institutions in the world such as London College of Communication (LCC), Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon (CCW), Central Saint Martins (CSM) and London College of Fashion (LCF), says Yinnyang.co.uk. The young talents were tasked to interpret athletic commitment, dedication and achievement and implement it to t-shirt designs under the slogan Journey To Greatness.

The result of the collaboration will hit NikeTown London and 1948London stores on July 14. The t-shirts will be sold at price starting £35 each.

No wonder that all designs differ very much from each other but each tee-shirt print conveys the idea of the athletic spirit which leads to victory. Dave White who previously collaborated with Nike to develop the Air Jordan 1 Retro shoe design  also design a tee to the final collection. The artists also judged artworks submitted to the Foot Locker Art Prize 2011.
