48. TURNING RUNNING SHOE’S INTO FASHION
In 1985, betting on a rookie athlete named Michael Jordan,
Nike itself released its Air Jordans.
The shoes were initially banned by the NBA commissioner
David Stern, on the grounds that they violated his
stipulation that court shoes be majority-white. Jordan wore
them anyway. Nike happily paid the fines.
Because of the creative marketing Nike and Phil Knight
pioneered, athletic shoes are now sought after, and
collected, and talked about, and infused with artistry.
Which is also to say: They are Fashion.
Today, as a result of all this, athletic shoe releases are met
with the same kind of fervent enthusiasm that fashion
shows are.
49. Traditionally aligned with
athletes, Nike concentrated on
sponsorships and celebrity
athletes- Bo Jackson and
Michael Jordan, the Just Do It
ads helped Nike.

such as blue and pink, and accessories ranging from
charms and stickers to crystals and tiny designer purses.

Nokia have been style-conscious from the
start, but it was in 1998 that the first
customizable cases hit the shelves. In fact, the
Nokia 5110 was the first mobile phone ever to
boast user-changeable covers. These Xpress-
On Shells were water-and-dust resistant clip-
on fascias that came in seven different
designs and colors.
55. In 2003, and the Nokia 3100
introduced a new generation of
Xpress-On gaming cover
enhancements: shells that featured
‘electroluminescence’, or special
light effects that sparkled through
the faceplate in sync with ringtones,
games and the phone’s alarms
Nokia Design Studio launched the
7200 in 2004, with a limited run of,
7200 units. Featuring a white leather
cover and wrist strap, a matching
pouch, and embroidered designs, this
was as much a fashion statement as it
was a phone case.
56. For the eco-conscious shopper, 2007
brought the Nokia 3110 Evolve—a
phone that came with bio-covers made
from more than 50% renewable
material. It wasn’t customizable, but it
certainly made a design statement.
57. With the release of the Nokia Lumia
820, interchangeable shells went hi-tech:
not only are they colourful and hard-
wearing, but they could also be used for
wireless charging.
58. In 2013, customization reached a whole new level. Nokia teamed up with
MakerBot, the 3D printing giants, to create special templates for clip-on
shells for the Nokia Lumia 820 and the Nokia Lumia 520. Where one could

one’s own text—and one will have a truly one-of-a-kind smartphone.

part of a fashionable ensemble.
