NIKE ATHLETE HOUSE
Nike tasked Recess with designing an immersive and culturally resonant Nike x Super Bowl LIX Athlete House experience. The Athlete House, dubbed Maison LIX, was an exclusive off-site space for athletes, agencies, and Nike team members to connect and discuss future collaborations. Hosted at the historic Debres Mansion, we blended New Orleans’ French influence with Nike’s modern sport and streetwear aesthetic to create curated meeting rooms that were as functional as they were visually striking. Nike’s top football athletes were spotlighted through bold, commissioned artwork by New Orleans–based artist Josh Isiah Walton, who reimagined some of Nike’s greats in his distinct style. Thoughtful football-inspired branding details tied the experience together.
