Louisville — The Greatest VII

Reversed out in white, the champion raises both fists against a smoky field of charcoal and gray, with a touch of green at the shoulders. A striking negative-space take on the series.

The story

Muhammad Ali (1942–2016) was born Cassius Clay in Louisville, Kentucky, where he started boxing at 12 after his bike was stolen. He won Olympic gold in 1960, took the heavyweight title in 1964 and became a three-time world heavyweight champion. Louisville is now home to the Muhammad Ali Center, which honors his life in and out of the ring.
