Brand Identity Concept

01 / Brand expansion

A new world.
A familiar silhouette.

A Nike × Slime Foamposite concept exploring where product design, fandom, and cultural storytelling could meet.

CONCEPT LAB / 001

01 — Market positioning

Translate a recognizable silhouette into a culturally specific product story. Test desirability with a focused concept campaign before committing to production.

Independent speculative work by James DeVoe / Tabanini. Not commissioned by or affiliated with Nike or the referenced anime rights holders. The image is a concept visualization, not an interactive 3D model or manufactured product.

02 / Strategy in motion

Don’t sponsor the scene.
Own the scene.

D&G × Jujutsu Kaisen: an independent strategy review exploring the move from product visibility to narrative participation.

Source campaign reference showing anime characters wearing branded apparel
Before / Placement-led

Seen in the campaign.

Static character lineups put the collection in view. The strategic opportunity is to connect that visibility to a story fans want to follow.

Product visibility Baseline to measure

Proposed anime boutique scene integrating the apparel into a character moment
After / Proposed narrative

Part of their world.

A character-led boutique scene, short-form fashion stories, and shoppable moments connect the collection to audience participation.

50–75% Hypothetical relative conversion uplift — unvalidated

Measure attention before assuming impact.

Track qualified visits and purchases from campaign creative. No campaign results or measured conversion uplift are supplied in this concept study.

The 50–75% figure is a hypothesis from the original portfolio, not an observed outcome or guarantee. Validate with a controlled test against the same audience, offer, attribution window, and budget. This proposed strategy is not commissioned by D&G or Jujutsu Kaisen.
