MANILA, Philippines - The Nike Sportswear Icon series introduces two newly remixed classics: the N98 Track Jacket and the Grand Slam Polo.
The N98 Track Jacket was first introduced in 1998 and was worn by teams such as the Brazilian national football team. Its 2010 redesign features enhancements such as a flat knit rib collar and cuffs, bonded seams, and double-welded, zippered pockets. The Grand Slam Polo has been crafted to keep the wearer cool and dry with details like a subtle vented collar and the flat-knit fabric for the interior.
In preparation for a summer of football, the Nike Sportswear footwear design team joined forces with Nike Football to explore the needs of some of the world’s greatest footballers when they leave the field of play. Focused on solving the needs of the athletes, the result is a technical solution called Torch.
Torch has also been integrated into several classic Nike silhouettes for the brand’s latest collection. The Air Max BW Gen II, Air Force 1 and Air Maxim 1 all get the Torch treatment, as well as technical enhancements such as welded uppers and natural motion soles. The Air Max BW Gen II was originally introduced in 1991 and has been a cult favorite of runners and sneakerheads ever since.
Nike’s latest products are available at Nike stores in leading malls nationwide.
