For Tokyo, Nike Celebrates the Imaginative Spark of Sport
Nike has partnered with five international icons of style to create new expressions of sport in time for the world’s biggest sporting event this summer in Japan. Sport-inspired collections from Yoon Ahn of AMBUSH©, Jun Takahashi of Undercover, Chitose Abe of sacai, Matthew Williams of ALYX and Virgil Abloh’s Off-White each celebrate the unique ways sport manifests. The designers equally express the inherent style of athletes and athletic apparel, and individually, each approaches the theme from different points on the sporting spectrum. Collectively, the initiative signifies the unifying value of sport as spark of imagination, possibility and vibrancy. Whether touching on the edges of sport culture, the rebellious spirit of barrier-breaking, the formation of new archetypes, the cutting edge of sports science research or the exuberance of fandom, all lanes combine in honor of intentional movement. The full collections will release this summer. https://news.nike.com/news/nike-sum...

The mutation also plays directly into Undercover designer Jun Takahashi's "make noise, not clothes" ethos, allowing the garment to converse directly with the natural world. The design also allows the wearer easy access to necessities. A functional watch window on the sleeve alleviates awkward pulling at the cuff. Three zippered chest pockets and two bellowed hand pockets store most daily carry needs. Pit zips allow swift shedding of excess heat, and the quilted interior of the parka grants warmth without heavy bulk.

Continuing an ongoing collaboration, Converse and Undercover designer Jun Takahashi combine forces on a reinterpretation of the Chuck 70 silhouette featuring a graphic camo print trussed with laced zipper guards and metal ring accents — unexpected hardware details that capture raw-edged rebellion. The shoe also has an embroidered “NW” patch for “The New Warriors," which is printed on the toecap. The Converse x Undercover collection (inclusive of High and Ox models) is available November 14 on converse.com and at select retailers.
