Good In The Hood
I’m at the 57th Street Nike Town more often than I am at the grocery store…what can I say – clothes (athletic clothes especially) feed me more than any Aisle Six. Embracing a more hip downtown vibe, Nike also occupies a store at 21 Mercer Street called… 21 Mercer (don’t over exert yourself Nike Creative Team).
21 Mercer is a stand-alone Nike Sportswear store that sporadically features local artists and athletic groups on their products as part of their in store one on one design/screen printing service. Currently, NYC Bridge Runners are spinning tunes and helping to customize t-shirts/hoodies/sweats…you name it…with whatever you want screen printed on the product. Not to be a narcissist (and I know this month it’s all about giving to OTHERS), but I’m eyeing a dark blue hoodie to print my best half marathon times on.
New York City Bridge Runners: Bio
“We are New York City Bridge Runners. We come from various walks of life, unified by our passion for the city and pushing our athletic, social, and creative boundaries. Since a handful of runners first organized under the Bridge Runners moniker in 2004, our collective has grown incrementally. From neighborhood entrepreneurs and 9-to-5ers to creative tastemakers and internationally recognized athletes, we are connected by the bridges like the Five Boroughs themselves. The key to our movement is awareness. Awareness of the moment in which we run. Awareness of one another as we challenge ourselves physically. And awareness of that which transpired before us in the places we explore. We are New York City Bridge Runners. Come Run With Us.”
