Onto the creative side, the show invited Dear Ribane to share their story too. The trio emphasised how internet and social media has helped them to get their message across as creatives. And by using it correctly they managed to get international recognition and collaborations. About Nike Air Max 1 atmos Elephant, Dear Ribane defined this as a beautiful and fantastic shoe. They went on to give respect to designer Hirofumi Kojima, the designer of the sneaker for including one of the big 5 elements as part of the design.
