Exclusive: Nike and Riccardo Tisci Announce Collaboration

We thought 2013 was a huge year for Riccardo Tisci—what with his CFDA International Award, the Met Gala, and his costumes for the Opera Garnier. But ‘14 is shaping up to be just as big. The Givenchy designer has exclusively revealed to Style.com that he has collaborated with Nike. The fruits of the partnership, which will bear the logo NIKE RT, will arrive in stores and on Nike.com this Spring. “For me, Nike represents a lot: my childhood, America,” Tisci said. “In Europe, America is the flag, McDonald’s, Marlboro, and Nike, for a kid it’s very important.” The respect goes both ways. “We were impressed by his vision,” Ian Ginoza, Nike’s Global Footwear Director, said. “I personally wear some of the t-shirts; that’s something that Riccardo does well, blurring the lines with street fashion.”

Neither Tisci nor Nike went into detail about the categories represented in the collaboration, but it’s safe to say that footwear will be a major part of it. Tisci has worn the same style of Nikes for 16 years. “When I got the call, it sounded so strong, so perfect for my DNA. It’s a big honor for me, especially because they’re always working with sports people,” he continued. Nike has partnered with the likes of the industrial designer Mark Newsom, the artist Tom Sachs, and (infamously) Kanye West, but it rarely collaborates with fashion designers. “I couldn’t bring them technology, instead I brought my style, what people like me for and what the young generation follows me for,” Tisci added. So what does it all look like? “It’s strong without being loud,” Tisci promised. This video portrait of the designer (below) may provide some more clues.

A much more truer infrared to the OGs, icier soles to delay yellowing, infrared lacelocks instead of black, and black fabric instead of white behind the white fabric and infrared Jumpman on the tongue

Hey man I had no idea you were on styleforum too. I'm the dude from niketalk you messaged about the 1s. I'll keep an eye out for your size.


I have the white infrared VI 2010 and have no idea how to wear them. They only look good with washed jeans IMO.

Good luck trying to find a pair under $300, my man. Beasts are still beasting.

We both wear the same size. We live in the same area. I insist you don't try to get a pair because you may be getting my pair. You have enough sneakers to last 10 lifetimes for a small nation, good sir.

FLIGHT 23 AT FOOTACTION TO BE FIRST NORTH AMERICA JORDAN-ONLY RETAIL LOCATION

Jordan Brand confirms first Jordan-only retail store—in partnership with Footaction—located in mid-town Manhattan.

In a town accustomed to both construction and unusual sights, New Yorkers on West 34th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues—one block from Madison Square Garden—on Friday morning noticed a new 18-foot tall classic Jordan shoebox serving as a construction barrier. Behind that barrier, the Jordan Brand and Footaction teams are hard at work creating a Jordan-only retail store, the first in a series of planned premium Jordan retail experiences coming to North America.

“We’re excited to launch North America's first Jordan Brand exclusive retail experience for athletes at the top of their game who demand the absolute best in both performance and style,” said Larry Miller, President, Jordan Brand. "We will work with Footaction to bring Flight 23 to markets across North America, and can't imagine a better place to start than one of the best basketball cities in the world, New York."

More details about the New York Flight 23 store will roll out in the coming weeks—stay tuned to @Jumpman23 and Jordan.com for all the latest information.
