The Nike Co-Lab series has always quitely worked with some of the most recognized artists and designers from around the globe. Usually we only report about it the day it lands in store. This time we can give you a nice heads-up, as the Fall ‘08 Co-Lab series is strong than ever.
Expect end of this coming summer collaborations by Nike with Tood James (aka REAS), Parra and Misha (PAM). Each designer contributed a windrunner and also a matching t-shirt. The line-up and outcome is very strong, probably the strongest Co-Lab series we have seen to date, especially in terms of aesthetics. Via Styledepartment.

Have a look at the other two collaborations after the jump.

Just last week we introduced the Patta “3 The Hard Way, Triple Threat, Patta Reworked” project with some logo pieces out of their Fall/Winter 2007 collection.
To set off their special sweater project “3 the Hard Way, Triple Threat, Patta Reworked” in an official manner, they reveal their first artist, the wonderboy Piet Parra. Parra designed the very first Patta logo, as well as the Patta Script Logo, so it was only logic to ask him for this project since he is obviously one of their favorite artists.

The mostly self-taught illustrator/designer/artist channels a vintage form with curves, yet with a decidedly modern, post-pop approach. His vibrant and often humorous images, which feature a distinctive, hand-drawn feel, can be seen printed on paper in various exhibitions around the globe, on a flyer for a club near you, on the sleeve of a record, on billboards and silkscreened on tees and sweaters. Parra is represented by the London based agency Big Active (www.bigactive.com) and is co owner of the new wave clothing label Rockwell (www.rockwellclothing.com).

Parra made two designs for this project, the Parra Typo and the Lady Shoe.

The Patta x Parra sweaters all feature heavy duty fleece, thermal linings, underarm ventilation eyelets, side slit pockets and will be available in-store only at Patta on Saturday November 24th and Alife Rivington Club (New York) (date TBA). Be on the lookout for the next artist to be announced next week!

Patta proudly presents the “3 the Hard Way, Triple Threat, Patta Reworked” project. A special collaboration between Patta and three different progressive and internationally accepted artists. The artists have been chosen by Patta because of their creative talents and distinct styles, obviously some of Patta’s favourite designers. The artists are pioneers and trendsetters, basically artists who know how to keep it fresh in this oversaturated world of design and streetwear. They all think and work outside of the box and are not limited to the rules of graphic design. The artists have each been commissioned to rework variations of the Patta brand name.

The special Patta Winter series, resulted in a collection of six different crewneck sweaters, two designs from each artist. All designs are printed on CYC Quality sweaters and the collection will be extremely limited. Every week they will be revealing one of the artists and the designs they’ve created for this project, accompanied by a mini interview. By the end of every week the sweaters will be released at Patta (Amsterdam) and Alife Rivington Club (New York).

To kick off and celebrate this special project they also produced a very limited series of sweaters with their beloved script logo created by Parra in three different colourways. This series we are presenting you here today.

The Patta logo sweaters all feature heavy duty fleece, thermal linings, underarm ventilation eyelets, side slit pockets and will be available in-store only at Patta on Saturday November 17th.
