Wonderwall and Groovisions got together with Loopwheeler Japan, known for their quality jersey and t-shirt bodies to produce a limited edition t-shirt. It is interesting seeing this kind of collaboration, as Wonderwall being architects and Groovisions being a design firm, both do not come from the fashion world. Something that you only come across in Japan.

Nike has uploaded a Fall 2008 Sportswear feature and for the first time we see the entire collection, including all jackets, pants, windrunners and pieces by Loopwheeler. Even though you have seen a lot from the collection already it is worth checking it out in its entirety once more.
Furthermore they have included a nice feature on the production facilities of Loopwheeler and essays written by C.R. Stycek and other high profile artists. 
The feature is also impressive, because it is shown full screen. Definitely an experience, so check it out here.
More images from the feature follow after the jump.

Just this afternoon we presented the until today unknown Nike x Loopwheeler Blazer Hi. Now we give you a look at the clothing that Nike has produced in collaboration with Loopwheeler. Loopwheeler is a Japanese fleece manufacturer that produces all of its products on vintage machines, that can only produce very little material, but in extremely good quality. 
As part of the Nike Sportswear Fall/Winter 2008 collection they present the AW77 hoodies, which come in grey with half- and full zips. Furthermore they present the Pinwheel crewnecks and classic grey crewnecks.
Here below is a great video, produced by Peche Noir (Miktor & Molf). Inspired by Nike and Loopwheeler, beat collective Pêche Noire held a studio session in dedication to the craftmanship of how the Nike AW77 sweater is made by Loopwheeler in Japan. In the Delta Beats studio, the three Dutch Beatmakers created a musical piece using Japanese samples and drums, with the same care and attention to detail that goes into the Nike AW77.

An unexpected highlight will be coming from Nike as part of their Beijing Olympics celebrations. They did not only get together with Japan’s fleece specialist Loopwheeler on a couple of hoodies, they also worked on a Blazer High. 
The Nike x Loopwheeler Blazer Hi comes with original Loopwheeler fleece on the upper with small details in black leather and a purple Swoosh. On the back heel it features the same orange tag, that also all the hoodies out of the collaboration got. A really interesting shoe that will be released this Saturday, August 9th, at Firmament in very limited quantities. Via Beinghunted.
After the jump many more detailed images.

Japan’s Loopwheeler is hard to beat when it comes to quality fleece products. Their vintage machines can only produce 8 sweaters per day and that is also reflected in their quality. The recent project with Nike Sportswear got the name of the brand out there, as it was very much underground up until then.
Here we give you a look at their Fall/Winter 2008 collection. The brand presents some very interesting hoodies with pocketing on the back, stadium jackets as well as zip jackets with patching. Via Slamxhype/Loopwheeler.

Fleece is the foundation of athletic apparel and Nike has always sought to do it best. At the pinnacle of Nike Sportswear, this quest has developed into a partnership with Loopwheeler of Japan, a company revered for their high-grade fleece. One of the only manufacturers in the world that still makes the cotton fabric on loopwheel machines, they have meticulously crafted this iconic half-zip pullover to once again distinguish it as the sportswear icon it is.
We showed you the hoodie already last week, here comes now more images as well as an exclusive video giving you a behind the scenes look into the Loopwheeler factory. The process is oldschool and slow, but the outcome is quality that is hard to replicate these days. Watch the video here below.

Hoody Named for “Athletics West,” Nike’s elite track and field club of a bygone era, and “1977,” the year the Hoody was created, this is the sweatshirt worn by legendary runners from Pre Fontaine to Alberto Salazar.

You can expect this piece to come in extremely limited quantities and quality that you hardly find from any other brand out there. It is impressive how a big brand like Nike does reach out for the best and ends up working with a small company such as Loopwheeler to achieve their goal.
