We see this kinda stuff all the time but I just stumbled across yet another "too close to be an inspiration" production.

There are plenty of ripoffs around.This is not one of them.

Close but a bit of a reach.
If there was more interactivity with the elements in the centre (pop ups or the like) then I would be concerned. But since it's just a carrousel, I just think it's based in a similar style.
Nice Jordan site though. Great work.

kyan.com is a breakthrough site utilizing a rising technology, one that is in ascendance. The site's been gathering kudos all around—well deserved.
The Nike one uses a technology that is stepping off. Hard to agree, seeing how it blows your socks off and is generally out of the first one's league, isn't it?
A perfect example of how the web evolves: two steps ahead, three steps back.

I actually liked the so called rip better, the Jumpman 23 was always such an amazing site, always pushing the bar, I'm not saying is ugly now, but I remember it being jaw drawping..
What was the name of the guy behind those? I think he was Canadian? Great photography too...

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery; seasoned designers, artists, etc. wouldn't let these Ripoffs (alleged or legitimate) phase them as it slows their momentum moving forward, which is what they do for a living: move themselves and their craft forward.
I think gregmwashington & others like him need to get back to work and stop wasting their/our/everyones time/energy/etc. with petty allegations.

Definitely inspired, but not a rip IMO.

Jordan site feels dated.
Kyan site feels fresh.- I thought the same thing, mainly because of the illustration workMiguex
