Nike Cape/Burg book launched

Nike has launched its Cape/Burg book, which illustrates a group of specially chosen artists, musicians and athletes as they run through the streets of Cape Town and Johannesburg.

In 1987 when Tinker Hatfield famously cut a hole in the side of the Air Max 1 exposing Nike Air, he wasn't to know that this small act would cause a global revolution.

Thirty years later, the Air Max 1 spirit lives on, as Nike re-crafts this iconic shoe in the form of the Air Maxim 1, taking a classic shoe and applying new technologies to create a revolution all over again.

South African revolutionaries

Join our 10 South African revolutionaries as they carry the spirit of the Air Max 1 forward in their work and their life, and the lead the charge into Cape/Burg. These artists, musicians and athletes make their marks on the tracks, walls and streets of Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Welcome to Cape/Burg, which portrays each of them as they run through a city that inspires, energises and engages them. From Siphiwe Tshabalala - professional football player, to Katleho Shoro - poet, Musa Nxumalo - photographer, and Kwani Experience - performing artists, each one depicts their style of running the city.

The exclusive Nike Cape/Burg book is available at selected outlets, and for more information on the revolutionaries and Nike Air Max, go to www.nikesportswear.com.
