As we mentioned previously, Nike Sportswear and New York based Maharam came together on their second special collection, this time featuring two of Nike’s iconic shoes – the Nike Blazer and the Nike Oregon Waffle reinterpreted in horsehair textiles by Maharam.

To create the look of the footwear, Maharam used vintage looms and techniques to produce classic weaves – a basket, check and striae, by turns textured, tonal and variegated. Intentionally devoid of pattern, the simplicity of weave reveals material opulence. Calfskin accents and waxed cotton laces heighten the effect. A restrained palette of black brings the interplay of matte and sheen surfaces to the fore.

The Nike x Maharam Collection will be available December 19 at top tier Nike accounts worldwide.

T Magazine has a first look at Nike’s latest project with textile supplier Maharam. The collection emphasizes “the relationship between the way a sneaker looks and how it feels.”

“With these $250 sneaks, Michael Maharam shot for what he calls “restrained opulence,” choosing a luxurious but underused fabric, horsehair. Nike calls horsehair “a renewable resource” because it’s clipped painlessly from the horse’s tail, but Maharam concedes that horsehair is not a practical replacement for everyday fabrics. “It grows slowly, is woven on arcane Victorian-era looms at a tedious pace, and costs a fortune,” he says.

The Nike x Maharam collection features three classic weaves — basket, check, and striae — on two of Nike’s easily recognizable (grace à swoosh) sneaker silhouettes, the high-top Blazer and the low-top Oregon Waffle.”

Now available at select Nike Sportswear retailers, including 21 Mercer in NYC.

Once again Nike has worked on a collaborative pack with Maharam. This time they chose the Terminator Hi. It comes in two colorways – beige/brown and black/purple. The heel of the sneakers feature Maharam signature fabric. The other detail that jumps right in the eye are the laces of the sneakers and the thick leather tongue tags. Look out for a release soon.
