Nike Sportswear is teaming up with UK’s London Cloth Company (LCC) for a women’s exclusive collection that features the Nike Blazer Mid LX, Nike Cortez Classic LX and Nike Air Max 1 LX.
Each is created with hand-woven, indigo-dyed fabric from LCC only mill in the UK that weaves denim.
“The yarn that we use is thicker than normal denim,” says Daniel Harris, founder of LCC, who officially set up shop in 2011. “It is two-ply in both warp and weft. We weave it very wide and shrink it a lot. The yarn is rope-dyed so that the garment will slowly accumulate wear and develop character.”
Accenting the denim fabric on the uppers, which mimics a textured herringbone pattern, is indigo-colored leather for the Swoosh, heel and tongue, a vachetta leather insole and gold-colored lace tips.
The London Cloth Company x Nike Sportswear Women’s Collection is scheduled to release at select Nike Sportswear retailers on September 1st, 2017. Continue to scroll below to check out more images which will provide you with a closer look.
