Nike’s innovative TPE 6453 creative space in Taipei recently played host to the latest leg of the IAM1 Journey which has seen itself span various parts of the globe. Incorporating the evolution of the iconic Air Max 1 into the mix as it has eventually developed into the Air Maxim 1, a series of artists from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan each contributed their own interpretation over various mediums. The roster of artists and participants included SILLY THING, ANO, Alien, PhalanX Studio and Lei Lei.
NSW’s latest technical pack is built from a nearly seamless series of laser cut, waterproof panels. Additional features include waterproof zippers, breathable membranes, and a host of internal pockets guaranteed to help keep your necessities dry in uncertain times. The Cheyenne 2000 Backpack is now available at NOS Osaka.
Singapore sneaker artist, SBTG, hit us up with the final version of his Prison Blues Dunks. This first installment of the ongoing Varsity Bones series features both a Dunk Hi and a Dunk Low with heavy denim and paint application. A zipper closure finishes off each sneaker. The shoes will launch on the new ROYALEFAM website, limited to 12 pairs per style.
Forged through a shared passion for innovation, meticulous craftsmanship, and authentic, high-quality fleece, the partnership between Nike Sportswear’s NSW Collection and Japan’s Loopwheeler continues with a series of products in premium loopback French terry fleece.
The fleece used for all NSW Loopwheeler products—is knitted on the brand’s rotating looms through a process that holds its heritage as close as Nike holds its own. The yarn on the loopwheel never comes under tension, resulting in a relaxed fabric that is supremely soft. Under the watchful eye of Loopwheeler’s craftsmen, a mere handful of Loopwheeler fleece garments can be made from the material produced each day. After the fleece is hand-cut and flat-lock stitched to insure comfort and durability, the results are nearly impossible to match.
The Fall 2009 NSW Loopwheeler collection draws inspiration from the concept of rivalry—an element inherent in sport. Each NSW collection Loopwheeler garment comes in classic sport colorways and is adorned with a crest highlighting either the Loopwheeler Bears of Japan or the Nike Sportswear Beavers of Beaverton. Adding to the iconography, Loopwheeler founder Satoshi Suzuki and the Nike Sportswear design team also chose numbers to express ideals close to each team. The number 10 was given to the Beaverton Beavers to represent the playmaker, a creative force that defines something new for the future. The number 24 adorns the Loopwheeler crest and represents the number of revolutions per minute that one loopwheel machine can complete.
Here continue with collection previews and give you now a detailed look at the F.C. Real Bristol (F.C.R.B.) Fall/Winter 2009-2010 Collection, the collaborative sportswear brands between Nike and Sophnet.
The brand always impresses with their lookbooks and just like in previous seasons used dolls to present the collection. Put into outdoor and soccer scenes, they present a casual sportswear collection. They used nice and strong colors in the line and present both on the field performance gear, and off the field casual wear.
