SneakerCenter is a new seven-part miniseries on ESPN+, ESPN’s streaming service, that explores sneaker culture across sports and entertainment as told by the athletes, artists, enthusiasts, and brands who power the movement. ESPN’s production partner Hock Films and the legendary filmmaker and director Bobbito Garcรญa wanted an iconic show brand and energetic graphics package that resonated with the sneakerhead community. BLOCK & TACKLE crafted a visual identity and language with a custom logo, show open, and graphics toolkit to use for the series and across various marketing platforms.
