EBJ’s Favorite Project:
Nike x Off-White: The Ten
I geek out on organization, strategy, and cross-functional collaboration, so this project, while complicated, was my favorite to develop.
EBJ’s Favorite Sneaker:
Nike Killshot OG SP
Low profile, neutral colors, pairs with anything. What’s not to love!
* I did NOT develop these, they are just my personal favorite
