Nike Sportswear x Loopwheeler Blazer

Nike Sportswear is working with Loopwheeler a Japanese company that uses a vintage fabric knitting machine called a loopwheel. This machine can only make about 1 meter of fabric an hour which equals to about 8 sweaters a day. So for these Blazers which feature Loopwheel fabric, a very small amount can be produced per day.  The upper features the cotton from made from the loopwheel along with premium leathers. These drop as Nike Sportswear launches this coming 8/8/08, look for them at very select retailers worldwide. Photos: Being Hunted
