At the 2008 Nike exhibition in Beijing, the sports retail giant utilized a unique packaging design, hoping to reflect their goals of sustainability and lightness.  The recycled cardboard packaging was designed by Zack Klauck and Emile Molie from 2×4, Inc.  The multidisciplinary design studio produced an exhibit that chronicled the four decades of Nike’s pursuit of new materials and technology.

The bags themselves are a mesh wrap of cardboard that are designed to hold a shirt and a windbreaker or a pair of shoes.  The sizes are written by hand and special attention is paid to the amount of materials involved in the packaging design.

  1. Sustainability eh? Perhaps Nike could figure out a way to pay their laborers a sustainable wage.

  2. nathan.. good one.!! hahaha

    Ever ben to asia? how about any 2nd world developing economy? Spend a few months over there, then we’ll talk.

    The issue is not getting Nike to do anything different; the issue is to get the world shoe-buying consumer base to pay $250 for shoes made in factories who support a living-wage. Then things will change.
