Continuing their collaborative relationship, Nike and Matthew M. Williams teamed up once again for a new range of performance-driven offerings.
The latest collection of “future training uniforms” once again mixes data influences with the aesthetic Williams has established with 1017 ALYX 9SM. The camo print used compounds “imperfections” against accurate computer results to create a pattern that hides the human form. Insulated jackets, practical vests, functional pants, convertible headwear, gloves and socks, found in the collection is constructed to meet the requirements of tough, outdoors training.
