Nike and Sacai‘s latest collaboration marks their shared vision for innovative sportswear design. The December 2023 release presents a carefully curated collection that pushes boundaries while maintaining wearability.
Fashion enthusiasts will discover five distinctive pieces inspired by classic tracksuits. The collection includes two menswear designs, two womenswear options and a gender-neutral t-shirt, each of which embodies the signature design elements for which both brands are known.
Renowned artist Yusuke Hanai brings additional depth to this Nike-Sacai venture through his sculptural work. “When we stumble and fall, and feel it’s impossible to carry on, there are people on our side encouraging us to take the next step forward. This bond is essential to our existence,” Hanai explained, capturing the collection’s underlying message of perseverance.
Campaign faces Tina Kunakey and Zakari Kunakey perfectly represent this ethos, bringing authenticity and strength to the visual narrative. Their presence reinforces the collection’s message of support and determination.
The collaboration will be available exclusively at sacai.jp on December 13th, 2024, while Los Angeles-based enthusiasts can access an early release at Dover Street Market Los Angeles on November 22nd. The sculpture will be available for purchase through the same channels to coincide with the launch of the collection.
T&Y GALLERY is adding an extra dimension to this release by hosting an exhibition of Hanai’s enlarged sculpture and accompanying artwork. Located at 821-823 E 3rd Street, Los Angeles, the exhibition welcomes visitors from November 22nd through December 21st, and is open daily from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Prospective buyers should monitor Sacai’s Instagram channel for specific launch details, as the collection will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. This limited availability adds an element of exclusivity to an already remarkable release.
