Phoenix Suns In-The-News: Firings In The Hoops + Artists Used in A Sneakers PR Stunt

A SNEAKER ART CONjob????
Just a coincidence or not? "Soles of Phoenix" or a flat-footed PR foul using artists?
Here's one story about the 8 foot-tall Gigantic sneakers where artists received a small stipend that was published recently in Phoenix New Times written by Lynn Trimble who describes herself as "an award-winning freelance writer and photographer specializing in arts and culture, including visual and performing arts"
Sneaker Art? Or Sneaker something' else?
". . . Artists got a small stipend for their work, and money to cover materials. They developed their own designs and incorporated elements that reference Suns-related themes. Before artists started painting, the Suns approved the designs. . . "
Blogger note: Please notice the commercial connections using artists: this is a word-for-word extract from the article". . . Every sneaker has signage with artist information and an interactive component. Viewers can use their smart phones to scan codes featured on the signs, then get access to team information and prizes through the Phoenix Suns mobile app. . . "
