2026Creative Direction & Graphic Design
OLDEARTH was commissioned by Highsnobiety to lead creative direction and graphic design for “Run Like a Local,” a Zalando series exploring running culture across Copenhagen, Berlin and Rome. Timed around each city’s marathon season, the series shared local runners’ perspectives through favourite routes, neighbourhood recommendations and everyday rituals, connecting movement, style and community.
Our work brought the three cities together through a cohesive visual language, with bespoke maps and route graphics translating local knowledge into editorial city guides. From Copenhagen’s waterfronts and Berlin’s green spaces to Rome’s historic streets, the design balanced practical navigation with a sense of discovery, inviting readers to experience each city through the people who run it.
