New York’s Capsule tradeshow is in full effect and very busy these days. We passed by the Nike booth today and took a first look at the Sportswear Spring 2009 collection. 
Dubbed "Earthquake" collection by us, for lack of a better description, Nike presents a series of pieces in the line. Backpacks, travel bags and windrunners all feature a photographic print all-over.
The collection will definitely find its fans.
Many more detailed images after the jump.

The 26-degree chevron gives it away: you’ve seen it before. The ultimate running jacket, the Windrunner became the face of Nike apparel at a time when Nike was known for its footwear. The ’84 games offered the perfect opportunity to demonstrate how technologically advanced sporting equipment enhanced performance from head to toe; with 58 Nike supported athletes taking home 65 medals. The Windrunner is perhaps Nike’s most recognizable piece of apparel from that important era. Designed as a running jacket, its nylon construction meant lightweight wear. But the Windrunner quickly transcended its athletic identity thanks to early hip-hop culture, which made it its own. Re-mastered for today, the lightweight shell is even lighter, built from super-breathable nylon and equipped with No Sew pocket construction and an updated hood that forgoes a hood adjuster for a clean finish. The jacket also features an ultra-modern ear bud cord exit eyelet, subtle yet functional.
Also Nike introduces their new Flywire technology to the classic windrunner, making it even more light and at the same time robust. They present the Flywire Windrunner in a range of Olympic colors as well as with gold and silver details. The Nike Windrunner has once again become a popular item in recent years and this new style will certainly also be welcomed well.
Check them all out after the jump.

Windrunners are back. That we can say for certain, since a couple of months. Nike is releasing lots of them and you see them again on the street.
Alife Rivington Club has collaborated with Penfield on several jackets already, until now always on warmer down pieces for the winter. For the first time the two got together to work on a light weight summer jacket – the Tech Windrunner. It comes in a black and purple colorway with mesh lining. Also it features adjustable hem and hood, as well as a 2 zipped stash pocket. The jacket is definitely shower proof and comes with a large glossy Alife Rivington Club logo print on the front with a smaller Penfield logo on the chest.
Hanon will have them in stock in the first couple of weeks of May, so make sure to look out for these.

Mash SF has pushed the fixed gear community more than anybody else in recent years. Also their product enjoy a healthy success. Collaborations with Stussy were also well received and sold out worldwide.
Today we came across a Mash SF x Nike Windrunner. The windrunner has come back really strong in the last months and the Mash logo is also looking good on it. Hopefully we will see a release soon. Pic via Another Blog.

Initially released back in 86 as technical running shoe, the Windrunner quickly became the running shoe for the casual wearer with its simple silhouette and classic colourways. This JD exclusive colourway has a leather upper with grey synthetic detailing and accents in charcoal/white.
