Nike Sportswear NSW Spring/Summer 2009 Collection

M/W NSW Standard Tee Take Dri-Fit to the Outdoors. 60 % polyester, 40% cotton, 100% sustainable. Blending organic cotton with recycled polyester while still maintaining all it’s Dri-Fit capabilities prove that sustainability is a performance advantage for Nike Sportswear. An eco-ink screen-printing process perfected to give the graphic stories color pop without the use of harmful solvents. Amplifying the ACG inspired theme of Terra and Aqua – land and sea – the letters NSW emblazoned on the front showcase the three Terra hues. Drawing inspiration from the elemental constant of sunrise and sunset, The Neo Turquoise mimics clear blue sky, Rave Pink and Anthracite represent the shadows that are cast when light meets land, while Electrolime is dedicated to the flora and fauna hues that create the color of land. With gender specific fit incorporated in the design makes this Standard Tee and instant icon for both men and women.


M/W Firefly Mowabb and Marine Stripe Firefly Jacket Using a mere 40 grams of water repellant micro-ripstop material, the Firefly Mowabb Jacket fuses the ACG ethos of lightweight protection with Nike’s most innovative performance materials. Borrowing from the best of outdoor apparel, the Firefly features laser cut breathability at the neck, hood peak with internal drawcord channel, a fully adjustable bottom hem and storm flap to keep the wearer warm and the weather out. Each Firefly honors ACG’s mountain heritage coming correct with an anodized carabiner. Creating a unique graphics story, the NSW design team expanded on the Terra theme of ACG, drawing inspiration from the mecca of outdoor terrain known as Moab, UT. The graphic on the Mowabb Firefly is a still shot of Moab’s rocks, known to break tires, frames, limbs, and wills. The rocks represent the undying spirit of the hard charging outdoor athlete, making the Firefly Mowabb’s wearer at one with the terrain they love. The Marine Stripe pays homage to the sea – the workers who don wide, bright chest stripes so they can be seen in the distance. As a final testament to the NSW design principle of form following function, this lightweight jacket collapses on command into the packable chest pocket.



Loopwheeler® Tee The NSW design team partnered with Japanese fleece brand, Loopwheeler® fleece, to design a Tee that would extend the sportswear lineage while continuing to honor the heritage of ACG. Iconography and type adorn the Tee, celebrating twenty years of apparel made for all conditions. While the screenprint may read “Worn To Be Wild” the 100% cotton jersey provides a premium plush feel that makes this Tee ready to be worn in any condition.
AW77 Loopwheeler® Hoody The AW77, a Nike Sportswear staple from the start. One of the most revered training tops, the Athletics West hoody was thick and durable, built to withstand the rigors of hard workouts and hard washing. An ingenious extended zip was added specifically for runners who wanted the ability to quickly shed the bulky layer during a run. The AW77 Loopwheeler Hoody represents the pinnacle in premium craftsmanship. Recognizing the timelessness of this iconic piece, the apparel team chose to re-invent it as part of the NSW permanent collection, elevating it to the highest of Nike Sportswear’s standards in place today. Built from Loopwheeler’s heavyweight French terry, the NSW AW77 is still tough as nails, but relaxed looped back fleece eliminates the steel wool effect.
