livestrong loopwheeler nike sportswear 1 Livestrong x Loopwheeler x Nike Sportswear Collection

Nike Sportswear continues its strong relationship with Loopwheeler to release two of its most iconic products in the LIVESTRONG colorways – the Loopwheeler AW77 Hoody and the Loopwheeler Tee. The shared obsession of supreme quality and meticulous craftsmanship brought these brands together in the Fall of 2008 to create the most premium and iconic fleece products. Practically handmade, the Nike Sportswear products created with Loopwheeler fleece fabric are extremely limited in quantity with an unsurpassed quality. The numbers placed on the sleeve are significant to Lance and the cancer story:

1,274: Number of days Lance was retired from competitive cycling.
27,500,000: Number of people who died from cancer during that time.
28,000,000: Number of cancer survivors alive today.
8,000,000: Number of people who will die from cancer in 2009.

The Nike Sportswear Livestrong Loopwheeler Collection will be available on May 16th, 2009 exclusively at the following retailers: ALIFE (New York), The Darkside Initiative (San Francisco), Goods (Seattle), HUF (San Francisco), Nike Sportswear at 21 Mercer (New York), Shoe Gallery (Miami), UBIQ (Philadelphia) and UNDFTD (Los Angeles).

    From all these positive responses, I suspect Nike has some employees blogging on here. I know they pay attention to sites like hypebeast..

    Sorry, but that graphic sleeve print is hideous on an otherwise beautifully made hoodie. Not sure how Loopwheeler benefits from working with Nike…

    yes stanks, lance matters. he works hard and probably has generated more awareness about cancer than any other person. i hope you never get cancer so youll never know how important living strong is, you miserable db.

    i agree that this hoodie is plain and i don’t see the hype just because lance is printed on it but gotta respond to Stanks comment about being “mediocre quality hoodie”

    when did loopwheeler become mediocre in quality? you do realize the hoodies are loopwheeled on vintage looms and each machine produces enough fabric for about 8 hoodies a day right? i sorta wish that nike didnt pick up loopwheeler because people confuse loopwheeler for all the other mass-produced crap on the market.

    steve-o is 100% right

    Not that it’s a bad thing, but how did a mediocre quality hoodie in both design and construction garner more comments than any of the fly shit that’s been on here lately?? I’d understand if proceeds were going towards the cause but, correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t think that’s the case. Do people really still care about Lance?

    If I can get my hands on it… def copping. However, if I can get it, I’ll get over it :-)

    No retailer in Chicago? How does the third largest city in the country get left out?

    Love the post on a Nike Livestrong product with the Adidas banner above it.

    I am happy to be one of those survivors. 1 year, 3 months. Wish the survivors were more.

    Will this be available online? It’s so unfair that it is only to be sold in the US. Please send some over to South Africa!!! I beg you!

    I would love to get my brother(a fellow cyclist) one of these for his b-day. Please tell me they will be available online!

    C’mon now, it’s just a generic hoodie with some commercials silk screened onto the sleeve. “Gives me goose bumps”? Give me a break.

    will this be available online?

    Love it. Simple yet effective. I love the symbolic references down the sleeve,
    Gives me goose bumps when I read it.
