Closer Look at Stüssy and Nike's Surfwear Capsule
Featuring UV-safe swim shirts, fleece loungewear, lightweight linen and more.
Update (7/9): After dropping a teaser for their next team-up on Monday, Stüssy and Nike have wasted no time feeding the fan frenzy with more info on what to expect from their latest collaboration.
Stüssy took to Instagram to share a slideshow of lookbook images from the collection, which was fittingly shot on a beach by Liam MacRae. The photos show off the line’s UV-safe swim shirts, fleece loungewear and lightweight linen outerwear in the duo’s shared casual fits. Across the board, both imprints’ signature branding lands atop each piece.
Additionally, the images reveal the brands’ collaborative LD-1000 silhouette, which features a waffle sole, signature Nike Swoosh branding and a co-labeled tongue. The sneaker appears in two colorways: “Action Green” and “Phantom.”

Original Story (7/8): After unveiling a lineup of swimwear pieces so far this summer, Stüssy is continuing to ride the wave of whipping up water-friendly summer garments – this time, bringing none other than frequent collaborator Nike on board to contribute. Stüssy previewed its next collaboration with The Swoosh in a wavy new teaser, which signals a collaborative capsule of surfwear garments including a Stüssy x Nike surfboard.
Shot by Morgan Maassen and Charlie McHarg, the short clip focuses on surfer Sara Taylor shredding some waves on a cobranded surfboard. The board appears in a predominantly cream-colored hue, complete with black accents and purple lining. The middle of the board is stamped with both Stüssy and Nike logos.
She dons a pair of orange board shorts, also presumably from the collaboration. A Stüssy x Nike logo hits the screen at the end. Check it out below.

Customers can cop a piece from the capsule this Friday beginning at 10 a.m. local time at Stüssy’s online store as well as at select Stüssy and Dover Street Market storefronts.
