7/07/2007 saw some serious partying worldwide and Brooklyn was no exception. To launch their new vintage running collection, NIKE hosted a day of events centered around the company’s illustrious 1970’s running heritage with a retro campaign called “Re-Run.” Starting off in D.U.M.B.O., the day got moving with a massive public performance by legendary Japanese noise rockers the BOREDOMS at The Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park, who shook things up with a carefully choreographed performance that included 77 drummers. Moving down the street to the PowerHouse Arena, the party kept going at an AARON ROSE-curated installation celebrating the campaign with art by SCOTT CAMPBELL, TRACY NAKAYAMA, and ANDREW JEFFREY WRIGHT, and some seriously vintage pieces of running hardware.
