LeBron James and Tiger Woods are two of Nike’s most famous athlete endorsers. In fact, it wouldn’t be that outrageous to suggest that the two are “faces” of the brand.
German artist Andy Gellenberg seems to have taken that notion to heart as he created these two amazing portraits of James and Woods which are made entirely of Nike’s famous Swoosh. The results are fantastic, if a bit eerie. Seriously, imagine looking into the depths of Tiger Woods eyes and only seeing a Nike Swoosh staring back at you. That is the stuff of nightmares.
Gellenberg also did a Nike Swoosh portrait of skateboarder Paul Rodriguez, who has his own signature line of shoes with Nike.
Somewhere, a Nike advertising executive is smiling and doesn’t know why.
