Clothing, Kicks

This is the craziest stuff I have ever seen from Nike or any of its subsidiary brands.  Check out the whole line after the jump.  Awesome.  I don’t expect this stuff coming to market anytime soon, or even ever, but it’s great to see NSW is willing to push the envelope a bit, and perhaps is giving us a cue as to what the vision of their brand is for the future.  Our souce says, “Nike Sportswear has partnered with design heavyweights Cassette Playa of London and Parra of Amsterdam, challenging them to create their own sports team. The result is a collection that delves deep into the psyche of sport and present Rivalry as its essence.
Both Cassette Playa and Parra draw on three iconic Nike Sportswear garments for the design technology that will drive their team to pursue success in battle. The NSW Collection Stadium Jacket forms a mighty focal point with both Parra and Cassette Playa’s jackets constructed from a Melton wool body with Thermore® fill for maximum warmth. Premium leather sleeves, and an innovative Dri-FIT lining point to Nike Sportswear’s expert heritage to which Cassette Playa and Parra have stamped their trademark subversive styles. Both team versions of this jacket feature hand-made chenille patches, paired with high quality embroidery and removable graphic pins. The Chimera and Lovely Loner Stadium Jacket is available in both a men’s and women’s cut.
True to Nike Sportswear’s design ethos of making things better, the classic satin Nike Sportswear Destroyer jacket is transformed through innovation to become a fully functional and technical piece, while keeping all of its classic appearance. Complete with Thermore® fill Dri-FIT liner, that helps wick moisture away from the body this jacket keep you at optimum temperature. By adding licks of colour and witty slogans, the Destroyer Jacket with its 2-layer water repellent satin construction becomes the obvious choice for Cassette Playa and Parra’s high performing teams.
A Nike Sportswear Tee supports the Rivalry collection. Both Cassette Playa and Parra Tees are available in a men’s and women’s cut. The collection is completed with a classic Nike snapback baseball cap from each designer.”
