Canadian graphic designer and artist Kathy Ager work in conjunction with SOONNESS to deliver her new puzzle series that boasts the name Gone Coastal. The themes stem from her admiration of Nike and Jordan Brand by celebrating the iconic University Blue colorway palette.
It features artwork that highlights the signature Nike Dunk Low sneaker in the aforementioned colorway design that rests amongst the clouds for a whimsical look. The puzzle set is 1,000 pieces and it is described to be suitable for "those days when you just want to lay in the grass, stare into the clouds and drift away," as stated by Ager. The puzzle set is made using recycled cardboard materials and is now available online at SOONNESS.
