SoHo’s Nike store at 21 Mercer St. welcomed the Olympic spirit with a #TeamUSA themed installation by acclaimed street artist Eric Haze. The collection of paintings and murals gives our broad stripes and bright stars a facelift by reconfiguring the American flag into individual monochromatic grids and pieces fit with iconic symbols of basketball and track and field. The murals celebrate the red, white, and blue by highlighting the traditional symmetry of straight lines, mixing them up with Haze’s fresh street design. Haze’s transformation of the Nike store from a haven of sports apparel to a tagger’s take on patriotism took two weeks to finish.
