Jack Stocker Illustrates Sneakers

Jack Stocker illustrates Nike sneakers throughout the ages. The 18-year old illustrator undertook the project as his final university assignment (yup, he's still studying) and decided to replicate the colours of the iconic sneakers from the late '80s and early '90s.
Using simple coloured paper Stocker constructed the silhouettes of the shoes, including the 1987 Air Line max, 1989 Air Pressure and the 1990 Nike Air Factor.
