Today, Nike unveiled the state-of-the-art Fly Knit Technology and the Nike Flyknit Racer and Fly Knit Trainer, developed after four years of precision engineering and design. Unveiled alongside the Fly Knit debut was the Nike HTM Fly Knit Collection, designed by Hiroshi Fujiwara, Tinker Hatfield, and Mark Parker, a trio of innovative minds that has navigated Nike to unimaginable heights in creativity and design since 2002. Today, at 21 Mercer, a special showcase event was held for the new Flyknit Collection, with special guests Mark Parker and Hiroshi Fujiwara in attendance and participated in Q&A session while showing off some samples.
