One of our mantras around here is that we’re trying to lead with performance.
Before his current stint he also held the reins creative directing at Nike Sportswear and design directing in the Running department. You may have heard a thing or two about some of his award winning projects such as Nike Considered, which has earned acclaim for its environmentally conscious approaches to footwear design. Harlow also helped reinvigorate the Free franchise after its first legs in the market. Along with his team, he spearheaded Lunarlon technology, one of the most prominently used systems at Nike today. Andreas is a ‘big picture’ type of visionary who perpetually considers the outlook and output of Nike’s future in footwear. Performance, experience and sustainability seem to be the three keywords that continue to drive Andreas’ passion for this global company and its life-changing products.
Every leg of his tenure at Nike has been enjoyed with success behind the scenes, influencing much of the design philosophy that’s been implemented in recent years. It was our greatest pleasure getting the grand tour of iD Studios, peering into the nooks and spaces that house our obsessions and hearing about the road to becoming Global Product Leader. And of course, the highlight of our afternoon consisted of getting three custom pairs made for The HUE.
