The second collaboration in NikeLab’s Summer of Sport series blends Nike innovation with Rousteing’s creative vision.
French fashion designer Olivier Rousteing is known for tailoring formfitting silhouettes, but it’s his love of football — dating back to childhood — that sits at the heart of the NikeLab x Olivier Rousteing: Football Nouveau collection.
Taking the lifestyles of professional football players competing in Europe’s biggest championship this summer as inspiration, the men’s and women’s offerings are designed to meet off-pitch performance needs while pushing the sport’s aesthetic forward. Iconic football designs are reimagined through modern silhouettes and paired with luxury finishes, including touches of gold, the color of champions.
The collaboration features the NikeLab N98 Jacket x OR, a transformation of the classic N98 Jacket to reinvent the off-pitch look of football. Both the men’s and women’s versions feature gold framing and an embroidered woven crest placed over the heart, a traditional location for football crests. We can also find the NikeLab Top x OR, inspired by the traditional football kit, but with tighter sleeves for zero distraction, and four pairs of sneakers: the Footscape Magista, the Free Mercurial Flyknit, the Roshe Tiempo VI and the Free Hypervenom 2.
Items from the NikeLab x Olivier Rousteing: Football Nouveau collection are available beginning June 2 at nike.com/nikelab and select NikeLab stores.
