Mixed Martial Arts fighting has risen to prominence across the world lately putting traditional combative sports such as boxing on the back burner. While boxing has had its share of popular endorsers such as Muhammad Ali and Oscar De La Hoya, MMA fighting has yet to reach that sort of level. Japanese fighter Caol Uno has been the exception forging a strong relationship with Nike. His original collaborations include the release of training gear and footwear. This latest collection encompasses a few different items such as outerwear, bags and footwear.
One of Nike's latest projects was the release of the Tech Pack. The Tech Pack embodied Nike's mentality to continually innovate and push the boundaries. The Tech Pack featured more casual styles with the backing of their high-tech processes. All of the patchwork seen on this M65 was created seamless and allowed Nike to flex their technical prowess with their ultrasonic welding methods and taped back construction. The jacket itself also features minimal stitching. The finished product is an extremely functional 3 layer laminate jacket which has both waterproof and breathability qualities. This jacket is currently slated as only a friends and family exclusive.
Sports giant Nike is set to swoop in for a takeover of English brand Umbro. Umbro is best known for their commitment to football and their sponsorship of the English National Team. The move by Nike improves their position within certain key growth markets and the credibility associated with the long heritage of Umbro. Unfortunately in recent times, the crown jewel of Umbro, the English NT has faltered on the European stage and face a difficult task in qualifying for the upcoming European Championships which has resulted in less then steallar sales. The deal rumored to be worth £285m GBP (approximately $580m USD). An article was written by the BBC regarding this venture.
If you have heard of the Japanese label Sophnet., then you might have also heard of F.C.R.B. Both brands directed by Hirofumi Kiyonaga share similarities but are different. On one hand, Sophnet. is the more fashionable label while F.C.R.B. is created from Hirofumi's love of football (soccer - like me:). This season, Hirofumi will be releasing SOPH. Magazine which will act as a catalog for Sophnet. and F.C.R.B. products. To commemorate this occasion, SOPH. has teamed up with Medicom Toy to release a limited edition 400% Bearbrick. The toy will release sometime this month at the price of ￥6,090. In addition, there will also be a tee made which has a graphic of the Bearbrick printed on it.

On the heels of a recent Nike half-zip hoodie release comes another batch of the Thermofill Windrunner Vests and Jackets. The jackets and the hooded vests include a water repellent nylon shell and a quilted liner. Both the jackets and the vests are available in a wide variety of colors. 
Nike Malaysia had selected 180 Malaysians to customize the Be@rbrick Nike Windrunner 400% for Nike’s upcoming Windrunner Campaign. These people, including artists, designers, collectors, customers or even students had given 10 days to customize the Be@rbrick without blocking out the chevron (V) design on the front, or the Nike logo. The customized Be@rbrick will be displayed at various Nike stores during the Nike Windrunner campaign.
