    Synopsis
    At Nike, the desire to be the best is a journey, not a destination - better is always temporary. Phaidon commemorates the company's influence with Nike: Better is Temporary , a landmark publication that charts Nike's transformation from rebellious upstart to global phenomenon. This immersive visual survey offers an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes exploration into Nike's ethos-driven design formula, placing industry-defining innovations and globally recognized products alongside previously unpublished designs, prototypes, insider stories, and more. Beginning with "Breaking2," an introduction detailing Nike's 2017 attempt to facilitate a sub-two-hour marathon, the book lays out in five thematic chapters Nike's focus on performance, brand expression, collaboration, inclusive design, and sustainability. The book's extraordinary design also nods to its contents. The striking cover features overlapping silkscreened layers of Nike's proprietary Volt yellow and Hyperpunch pink colors overlaying an image of world-champion marathoner Eliud Kipchoge printed in a half-tone dot pattern. The book's spine, visible through the clear jacket, showcases a series of colored tabs that extend from its interior pages and which are referenced in the book's bonus chapter, "Crafting Color." Combining 500 color illustrations with stories, insights, knowledge, passion, and history shared by Nike's remarkable team, Nike: Better is Temporary will serve as a manual of innovation and inspiration for generations to come., For more than half a century, Nike has played a pivotal role in the evolution of design and innovation in sport, producing some of the most iconic footwear, apparel, and ad campaigns in industry history. With exclusive access to the Nike campus and through conversations with key members of the creative and leadership teams, author Sam Grawe delves deep into thecompany's internal design philosophy to reveal precisely what makes Nike such a global phenomenon. A one-of-a-kind, immersive visual survey, Nike: Better is Temporary celebrates the groundbreaking achievements that can result from the pursuit for perfection.

      A++++ Seller they gave me a great price and shipped it immediately and communicated friendly. Shipping took 2 days and it was here. It was packaged thoughtfully. The book is quality, brand new. It looks just like the picture. It's a hardcover and I can't believe i got it for that price!! I definitely recommend this seller if you want quality books at a great price! Thank you, you have my business for life.

      The book matched the description. It arrived earlier than expected.The price was very good because I checked other sellers before purchasing and they price was more expensive. I already had the second book but, needed the first one. It took the seller a few days to send the tracking number after I requested it.I appreciate prompt responses to my purchases. The quality is good and the condition of the book is not to bad it is better than expected.

      I purchased three items from Goodwill Industries South Florida and with all of them, the Quality, Condition, Value, Appearance of this item are all excellent. They far exceeded the product description! Shipping speed was a little earlier than expected delivery time. I think I have done business with Goodwill in the past on Ebay, and that's why I went straight for their listing. I continue to be impressed and thankful for each transaction with them. We will get much enjoyment out of these items.
