Crashing the swelling corporate graffiti party, Nike has teamed with graffiti writer, Futura, to create a series of symbols and icons that illustrate Lance Armstrong’s personality and challenging life story. The images were then reproduced on Lance’s Tour De France time trial bike. A website ties it all together and promotes Armstrong’s new line called 10/2 which is the date that he was diagnosed with testicular cancer
Big, bad, biker Bucky comments, “With the rising popularity of bicycling and Lance himself, I think it’s really cool that NIKE would hire an underground celeb like Futura to work on a project like this.” And now, the comment section eagerly awaits the wrath of graffiti purists.
UPDATE: Futura offers his own take in the comment section.
