In its many senses, play has influenced society by influencing attitudes and fashions. The playgrounds and the streets serve as venues for people to express themselves and let their personalities run wild. That location and behavior have always been the source of subcultures and new styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In FOOTDISTRICT, we wanted to look into the power of games as change agents, social agitators, and environmental influencers. And we do it through Jordan and the celebration of the 35th anniversary of a model that returns renewed, the Air Jordan 4 “Bred Reimagined”<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1989, with The Shot<\/strong>, Michael Jordan transformed a basketball court into a space for play and expression. His game has been imitated in different places with the same objective: to transform territories. We sought creators, agitators, and disruptors whose actions have the potential to re-signify contexts and change spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casa Antill\u00f3n is an art, design, and architecture collective based in Madrid that was founded in 2019. In their actions, they investigate and transform spaces by manipulating their shapes, scales, and context. Their transformative capacity is activated by Follies, artifacts made from real objects that, when altered, transform into play tools. The forms of a classic playground are joined, reinterpreted, and deformed for a piece created specifically to commemorate the union of FOOTDISTRICT and Jordan. It contains familiar elements, but nothing is as it appears: resources extracted from basketball courts with impossible locations, a seesaw altered by its new scale, or forms reminiscent of skateboarding, all united in an artifact that cries out to be played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Placed in a neutral, seemingly empty space, Casa Antillon’s Follie <\/strong>has the ability to transform the environment into a new, active, and playable territory, a celebration of the spirit of sport and participatory creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casa Antillon’s artifacts only make sense when they are put into action. Talents with different backgrounds in art, music and dance have been responsible for setting up the activation, a game that grows when it involves different people and ideas, samples of personal expression. A demonstration of the disruptive and agitating role of movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game, as a participatory, transformative, and creative element, has been a constant in Jordan<\/a>‘s legacy, as has FOOTDISTRICT and Casa Antill\u00f3n’s investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
