Last night the Nike Sportswear 21 Mercer store hosted the launch event for the Nike Sportswear x Syracuse Collection, designed by none other than Futura.

“On hand were a few Syracuse Alumni, Paul Harris (middle left) and Brooklyn’s own Dwane “Pearl” Washington accompanied by ESPN’s Jay Corbin (far left) and of course “Futura” (far right). The night started out with a little Q+A led by Paul, Dwane & Futura (as he (Futura) stated, would like to be called “Lenny”) hosted by Jay Corbin. After some brief discussion and some laughs the guy’s hosted a raffle for 21 signed Futura basketball’s, immediately following the 21st raffle ticket that was picked, the 22nd went to one lucky winner, Gerald, whom won a free Bespoke session with Futura.”

Many more pics from the event, the people, Futura and more follow after the jump.

In celebration of the Yankees 2009 season and run through the playoffs, Nike Sportswear’s 21 Mercer store has teamed up with FUTURA and the New York Yankees to release a limited edition World Series Hypercool Mock available exclusively at 21 Mercer in New York. The Mock is priced at $114, the number 114 commemorates how many wins it will take for the Bronx Bombers to win the 2009 World Series. Just like the number Manager Joe Girardi wears on his back in commemoration of what the Yankees goal is this year, there will only be 27 units available for purchase, the number of World Series titles the Yankees will have if they can win it all in 2009.

Last night saw the opening of the 21 Mercer Nike Sportswear flagship store, the first permanent space of the Nike Sportswear collection. Our friends from Coolhunting did a nice video walk-through of the new space, which turned out quite incredible.
