On July 7, 2007, The powerHouse Arena will present RE-RUN.
The installation is set within the context of a three-dimensional wooden modular structure, and based on alternative architecture from the 70s. RE-RUN composes 77 panels featuring vintage Nike Running images juxtaposed with photography, graphics, and a series of specially commissioned artworks created by some of today’s leading young contemporary artists. Created to revisit an era gone by, but presented in a modern context, RE-RUN stimulates and inspires in an irreverent way, exploring the connection between running, sport lifestyle, and design. The installation encourages looking back in order to move forward, but never forgetting that sometimes the simplest actions can change the world for the better.

Nike to Donate Sales of Air Force One Songs
By LINDSAY E. SAMMON
Nike Inc. said on Monday that proceeds from the sale of the original Air Force One song titled “Classic (Better Than I’ve Ever Been),” will be donated to the Nike Youth Sport for Change Fund.
Specifically, the proceeds will benefit the Jackson Unit Boys & Girls Club of America and The Salvation Army Boy & Girls Club of America, both located in Baltimore. Of note, Baltimore is also home to three of the original Air Force One retailers.
The song, mixed by DJ Premier, features Kanye West, Rakim, KRS-One and Nas. It has been available on iTunes since February as part of the athletic company’s 25th anniversary celebration of the Air Force One basketball shoe.
Another version of the song, produced by Rick Rubin is also available on iTunes. According to Nike, the two tracks have been downloaded more than 85,000 times since their releases.
