Traditionally, tailored clothing and athleticwear have sat on opposite sides of the international soccer pitch, with players wearing one for travel and formal occasions, and the other for play.
Martine Rose and Nike have disrupted that model, stitched the two together and created a collection of tailored suiting that gives new meaning to the term “sportswear.”
The collection, Nike x Martine Rose, features a player’s suit jacket, a pair of trousers, a trench and a shirt designed for female soccer players and based on British tailoring codes.
“More than just tailoring. It’s about the women wearing it, it’s about strength, resilience, beauty, power,” Rose said. I wanted the women to feel powerful, like the men often do.”
