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.

While New York’s Mercer Street is the only place being blessed with a full fledged Nike Sportswear shop, cities across the globe are getting their own taste of the line. We’ve shown you a few places and now can present the set up in London. (Thanks to Joes(a)fiend).
Located in Shoreditch, the location takes an old gymnasium feel. But, that is just one half. The other side is a futuristic neon and black space. Merging tradition and future inspiration and innovation. In essence, the Nike Sportswear mission. 
Beyond the inspired interior design, London’s MODE 2 provided a few 20ft high murals of British Olympians, including the amazing Paula Radcliff.
Check those out and some interior views after the jump.

As part of their Nike Sportswear Fall 2008 collection, Nike presents a series of quality bags. Included in the line-up is the Cheyenne 2000 backpack, Pinnacle Bike Messenger bag and the Sport Duffle bag. 
The Cheyenne 2000 backpack takes clear inspiration from the Visvim bag line-up, coming with an upper material, that is similar to ballistic nylon, waterproof zippers and a premium leather bottom. Also the Pinnacle Bike Messenger comes with some great features and details, while keeping an overall clean look. The duffle bag is a little simpler and probably the least exciting in the line-up.
All three bags are now available in the Nike Sportswear Online Store.
Detailed images follow after the jump.

The buzz around Nike Sportswear does not seem to stop any time soon. This past Friday the Berlin 080808 store also opened its doors in the heart of Berlin Mitte. Across the street from Nort Berlin (on Muenzstrasse in the backyard is the entrance), you find the new Nike Sportswear pop-up store, which strikes with great interior design and of course special products, most of which we have presented in the last couple of months. The location is split into a store area and a gallery area. Last but not least you find Nike iD stations to design your own shoes, as well.
The opening last Friday was a great success, with lots of people rolling through. Have a look at the new store and make sure to visit on your next Berlin trip.
More pictures to follow after the jump.

To celebrate the launch of Nike Sportswear, they gave the 5th floor of NikeTown NYC the Sportswear treatment. Most impressive is probably the windrunner installation, which goes over several floors.
"To celebrate the launch of Nike Sportswear, NikeTown New York has completely redesigned its 5th floor, dedicating the entire space to Nike Sportswear.

The new NikeTown 5th floor hasn’t just undergone an architectural revolution but it has also completely changed the products on its shelves. For the first time, you will find the best of Nike Sportswear including our newest, pinnacle apparel line, the NSW Collection.

The opening of the 5th floor is marked by a five story chandelier-inspired installation built around one of Sportswear’s most important silhouettes; the Windrunner. Over 200 Windrunners were used to create this towering spectacle and is representative of the diverse nature of this enduring sport icon. The structure’s most symbolic Windrunner is the US Team model which is being worn by our athletes during Opening and Closing Ceremonies and as they claim their medals on the podiums of Beijing.

While the 5th floor revolution is a permanent fixture of NikeTown, the Windrunner installation will be taken down at the end of the month."
Check out more images 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.
Detailed images of the other pieces after th jump.

On the 8th of August the Beautiful Losers will open in New York at the IFC Center. 
"Presented by NIKE SPORTSWEAR, the film chronicles the lives and creative process of artists including Shepard Fairey, Margaret Kilgallen, Mike Mills, Barry McGee, Jo Jackson, Chris Johanson, Harmony Korine, Stephen Powers, Geoff McFetridge, Thomas Campbell and Ed Templeton, among others, whose DIY attitudes informed the aesthetics and ethos of their generation.
To further commemorate the film’s release, Nike’s Sportswear’s JESSE LEYVA has also created a series of 22 Beautiful Losers Dunks emblazoned with iconic stills from the movie using the company’s new high-resolution digital printing process. Says Aaron Rose of the project, “We went back to the documentary and pulled frame stills of what we felt were key moments in the narrative. We used these moments to tell the Beautiful Losers story using the shoes as a medium, with the end result being a collection of works of art.” Viewed together, the shoes reflect the overall narrative of the film, and after being exhibited at the NYC and LA “Make Something!” workshops, two sets of the shoes will be auctioned off with proceeds donated to the Children’s Aid Society." Via Supertouch.
As mentioned above, two sets of the shoes will be auctioned very soon. We cannot remember the last time we were as excited about a set of shoes – a true collectors piece.
BEAUTIFUL LOSERS NYC SCREENING SCHEDULE:
IFC Center
323 6th Ave (at W 3rd St), NYC
Showtimes for Friday 8.8.08—Tuesday 8.12.08:
12:45, 2:30, 4:15, 6:15, 8:20*, 10:20pm*, plus Fri-Sat: 12:15am
