Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing has partnered with Nike to create a NikeLab soccer active wear collection.
Nike has previously worked with such fashion designers as Riccardo Tisci, Kim Jones and Jun Takahashi to create fashion-forward athletic wear.
“Olivier was obsessed with the complete look, making sure each piece worked together — not just within the men’s and women’s collections, but also between the two,” said Jarrett Reynolds, NikeLab Senior Apparel Design Director, in a statement. “At every design review, he’d ask, ‘Would a football player really wear that?’ That question helped keep the collection rooted in sport.”
The talented, 30-year-old designer incorporated a sleek palette of black and gold into sweatpants, shirts, footwear and one standout jacket called the NikeLab N98, which features prominent gold hardware with a gold-stitched Nike logo.
“What I love about this collection is that we are integrating the iconic style of football into sport style,” said Rousteing in a statement.
