Swoosh on show

Nike is sponsoring an exhibition at London's Design Museum promoting its own achievements. Nike - Design For Movement opens on August 24 and includes four films, Nike Shox, the Olympic 2000 Swift Suit, Nike collaborations with NASA and the entire Jordan range. It doesn't include any reference to the brand's controversial manufacturing practices and allegations of human rights abuses. Finalists for the Design Sense award (rewarding 'sustainability' and 'social impact' in architecture and product design) will show from August 31. A spokesperson told us "we do not see conflict" between supporting Design Sense and Nike saying that "it's about design."
