Nike and Liberty reprise their longstanding partnership for Spring/Summer 2015, ushering in a new collection of apparel and footwear. The release is based around Liberty's exclusive "Merlin" print, originally produced by Liberty for a silk scarf in 1972. Sneaker offerings include collaborative editions of the Air Max Thea, Air Rift, Air Max 90, Cortez, Tennis Classic and Zenji silhouettes, for a balanced selection of classic and progressive models. For the apparel component, Nike elected to add in a windbreaker jacket, cap and T-shirt, continuing the use of the colorful and geometric "Merlin" print throughout.
Apparel and footwear availability begins on April 23, exclusively from Liberty London, followed by a release of the Nike x Liberty Air Rift on May 4 from select Nike retailers and on nike.com/sportswear, while full availability of the collection starts May 15.
