Collaborations

Nike and Matheus Cunha surfboard project.

Nike needed a surfboard for a shoot with Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha. The brief was simple enough to say and awkward enough to make properly: build a board to match the Nike Tiempo.

A board built to match the boot.

The board used the same blue-to-pink gradient as the boot. The carved rib sections were carried into the rails, turning a football boot detail into a surfboard detail without making it feel like a prop.

The finished board was used in an official Nike photoshoot with Cunha as the centrepiece.
