Nike SS 2024 Media Taps Dan Beleiu's Personal, Colorful, Energetic Images

If this isn’t the first Nike project for Dan Beleiu, AOC doesn’t know about the other ones — and I just looked. Beleiu’s sophisticated, modern, high-energy style is perfect for Nike.

The Nike Spring/Summer 2024 Campaign was styled by Mindy LeBrock with makeup by Rika Shimada. We also met key Nike execs in charge on the client end of the shoot.
