"On an inspirational trip to Tokyo, one of the centers of street culture, Nike ACG’s Global Design Director Stewart Horner came accross a tiny little shop specializing in traditional Japanese fabrics, from 400yr old indigo dyed denim to incredibly intricate hand cut stencils and beautiful silk kimono. Blown away by the craftsmanship and detail, Horner was determined to incorporate this into his design. The result? The Nike ACG kimono jacket. A technical interpretation of the most prestigious Japanese apparel icon, the print featured on the jacket was made from a 150 year old hand cut paper stencil, printed on a technical interpretation of a traditional kimono fabric with a 20,000mm waterproof breathable 3-layer Nike Storm Fit laminate."
