Nike Running Murals by Daniel Ting Chong
Nike is a brand we all love, it was founded in 1964 and has since then captured a worldwide clientele of sports enthusiasts. Nike Sandton is the first Nike Women’s partner store in the African continent. Daniel was commissioned by Nike to design two glass murals for their unique store – one specifically designed for women and the other for men. The murals not only serve as artwork, but have also been printed on tissue paper for the packaging of Nike apparel and sneakers.
It was an incredibly tight deadline of 5 days. Each mural had to depict running, gender, motion, innovation and technology. I also wanted to provide a few localized references to make it relevant and place emphasis on the importance of the first Nike Women’s store in Africa.

I looked directly at running for inspiration and all the different cultures we have in South Africa. I used Adobe Illustrator to create the work and then vinyl adhesive was used for the application.

An additional section to the project was to develop a concept for a ceiling piece, in which we created a Free Run 3.0 sole, extruded out of the ceiling.

The mural adds character to the store. Love reading the encouraging text. Awesome job!
Wow, it really looks good on the glass and the thin tissue paper! Great job and congrats on being commissioned to do the design work!!
This is fabulous! That's the best looking Nike store I've seen. I also really like seeing examples here that are used in real life.
