StreetWise was grateful to feature the work of local artist Cody Hudson, who colaborated with Nike's Jordan Brand to create a capsule collection for the 8x8 - Unite project. The aim of the project is to celebrate the return of the NBA All Star game to Chicago, by having 8 local artists creating art work representing the 8 different CTA train lines. Hudson's work for the project launched exclusively at Notre (118 N. Peoria St.). Notre hosted a party on January 24 to promote the launch of the collection, and to preview the January 27 issue of StreetWise! The party also featured a limited print by Hudson, with proceeds from its sales being donated directly to StreetWise.
