Nike x Johanna Schneider: modular sportswear

Feb 17, 2015

NikeLab has collaborated with Berlin-based designer Johanna Schneider on a modular collection called "NikeLab x JFS." "Sometimes I want to be covered or supported, and other times I want something airy or airy," says Johanna. This collection fulfills these workout desires in modular pieces. By selecting each piece individually, a look can be tailored to the time, place, and activity. At the same time, by incorporating the pieces into everyday wear, a wardrobe can be created that provides everyday functionality. The collection's signature piece is the sleeveless cape, which can be worn in three different ways depending on the occasion. It can be worn open as an outer layer, belted, or wrapped around the waist like a warm-up skirt. Printed tights and bras feature Johanna's own artwork, which is contoured to the body to accentuate key muscle movements during exercise. Meanwhile, the relaxed, cylindrical culottes feature diagonal cuts at the hem, enhancing the silhouette's movement. The mesh lining allows the culottes to be worn over tights or on their own.

The collection also incorporates Nike's cutting-edge technologies, including the functional fabric "Dri-FIT." Innovations include laser-cut patterns for enhanced breathability and lightweight fabrics with bonded finishes. Each of these subtle details is meaningful, subtly revealing or concealing the silhouette, allowing athletes to focus on their sport without worrying about prying eyes.

Regarding the color pattern, Johanna said, "I wanted sophisticated colors that complement a variety of skin tones. These colors, which have a deep connection to nature, create a familiar and natural impression, providing a gentle contrast to the collection's technical aspects."

The collection is scheduled for release on February 26th. Available at NIKELAB DSM GNZ and the official NIKELAB online shop.
