Nike Sportswear has just launched an amazing pop-up store on Changle Road (next to NPC – 139-15 Changle Rd) to celebrate the launch of the AW77 hoodie, and the W+K team went down to interview some peeps.
i took some photos of the chinese pop star and nike influencer jacky xue zhi qian, which can be seen on the china sportswear blog.
the pop up store is going to be open till saturday, and there’s a nike ID station set up in case you wanna blaze your name on your very own aw77 hoodie.
more photos coming soon!

we’re sitting at an airport starbucks, waiting for our flight back to shanghai. feeling very tired but pleased and proud that the Nike running season has come to an end. here’s a couple photos from the last 24 hours, the very last one is one of our photographers this morning at 5am when we arrived at the event site. it was still pitchblack and very depressing. luckily, the skies opened up and there were blue skies, not to mention about 20,000 runners and a celebration concert at the end. more photos to come, but for now, yu bei pao and see you tonight at BADTASTIC!!

明信片 postcard: A Rodney Evans solo exhibition
Postcard is an album of Rodney Evans’ travel shots that comprise four years of shooting in China and has evolved over two series of work – ‘Tourrorist’ and ‘Park Stories’. Since arriving in China in 2005, the Shanghai based photographer has spent his spare time traveling through provincial China documenting the way in which Chinese spend their leisure time.
Fascinated with Chinese vacationers who prefer to capture themselves in-front of the monumental view rather then the view itself, ‘Tourrorist’ began as documentary but evolved into a more considered study of portraits set in popular leisure destinations. Motivated by the inability to isolate a frame without people, Evans turned his camera on the tourists, encapsulating them in their environment.
