For Holiday 2011, basketball superstar LeBron James gets the Nike Sportswear treatment. The standout piece is an all-wool Destroyer Jacket, similar to the version LeBron wore last season on his first return to Cleveland following his move south-east. Vivat Rex “Long Live The King” is embroidered on the inside of the jacket, with LeBron’s Nike Sportswear ‘Lion 6’ logo adorned on the sleeve. The message Virescit Vulnere Virtus sits boxed in the bottom translated as “courage becomes greater through the wound.” Additional pieces include the AW77 jacket, a rugby shirt and a tee, all of which debut globally October 1.

Featured in Nike Sportswear’s Holiday 2011 Collection are two LeBron James footwear styles. The black leather Air Force 1 Premium Low QS is the first AF1 low to feature the rugged traction characteristic of a duck boot, with a winterized feel fit for the harsh weather.

The Nike Air Max Conquer QS is a versatile boot made for the winter with a high cut, rugged traction pattern, waterproof overlays and a heel viz 180 Nike Air unit. A new NSW LeBron logo on the tongue top and sockliner finish the boot off and tie directly to a matching range of Nike Sportswear apparel. Both styles debut at select global retailers this November.

The Nike Sportswear NSW Fall/Winter 2011 Collection releases October 1st, 2011.

Gallery 1950 did not only collaborate with Supreme on the ‘FUCK’ rug, but also worked with Nike Sportswear on some luggage pieces for Fall/Winter 2011. They present the Cheyenne 2000 backpack and a matching duffle bag, both coming in black with a red/orange stripe pattern placed on some panels of the two pieces. Overall branding is subtle and a release is scheduled for August 27th, 2011.

As mentioned previously, Nike Sportswear is celebrating the 125th anniversary of the Arsenal football club with ‘Forever Forward,’ a film directed by Ryan Hopkinson.

Celebrating the 125th anniversary of London’s Arsenal FC, Nike Sportswear has created the Arsenal 125 Collection, which includes a special edition NSW Destroyer Jacket.

The front of the jacket sees a bold felt and leather ‘A’ appliqué taken from the lettering in the club crest that featured from 1949 to 2002. The club’s Latin motto that also debuted that year is present as tonal embroidery on the right sleeve. It proudly proclaims Victoria Concordia Crescit that translates as ‘Victory comes from harmony.’ The bottom of the same sleeve also sees a direct embroidered ‘AFC’ graphic inspired by their late 70s cannon iconography

The left sleeve continues the appreciation of the club’s heritage as it features abstract references to crests of the past. Satin-stitched leather appliqués pay homage to the notable moments in the club’s history, including the 1930 FA Cup Final ‘Monogram’ badge and the 1952 FA Cup Final ‘Art Deco’ badge. The interior of the right lapel carries a striking homage to the 125th anniversary in the form of Roman numerals aligned in leather and satin to make up a ‘CXXV’ graphic, divided by gold embroidered accents.

A pair of short films were also created. You can view the Forever Forward trailer at Curated, while the final edit will be showing throughout August in Nike’s 1948 space in East London.

The Arsenal 125 NSW Destroyer Jacket will be available (in an edition of 125) from 1948, FOOTPATROL and NikeTown London on Friday 29th July 2011.

As part of the NYC Summer collection, Nike Sportswear has released the exclusive Team NYC  Nike Air Force 1, which comes equipped with special Team Nike Starks laces and “WE ARE NY” lasered on the heel cup.

There are only 72 pairs in existence. 24 will be available at the Nike NWS Ice Cream Truck and the remaining 48 will be at Nike Basketball’s BLVD ICE in Harlem.
