Nike by Olivia Kim Collection
Available Friday November 8 at Wish ATL.
“Bringing together nostalgia and personal style, Nike is partnering with native New Yorker, Olivia Kim, on the Nike by Olivia Kim collection, a capsule of apparel, footwear and accessories that evoke the fun, playful side of New York City in the 90s. Inspired by Olivia’s childhood love of Nike and the vibrant, creative culture during her formative years growing up in Downtown Manhattan.”

“The capsule is a perfect confluence of classic Nike designs with Olivia’s style rooted in the rave and hip-hop styles defining that era. Think 90s subculture in New York where DIY fashion reigned the streets and youth culture everywhere was reclaiming their childhood through sartorial expression.”
Nike x Olivia Kim Air Max ’98
The Air Max ’98, featuring full-length Air technology, borrows from the iconoclastic Air Max 120 (originally released in 1998) paired with red, green and yellow accents to create a sense of vibrant street elegance.
Nike x Olivia Kim Footscape
A cult classic since its launch in 1996, Olivia references the OG Footscape design created by the Nike sport research lab, but flips it with a pink and zebra print. With these sneakers, she unites a universally downtown punk attitude found on St. Marks in the East Village all the way to the underground energy of Tokyo.
Nike x Olivia Kim Air Force 1 ’07
As bold as the city that inspired her collection, Olivia updates the Air Force 1 with a volt and game royal colorway. Her references remain firmly 90s, adapting the 1996 ivory snakeskin swoosh design paired with the elevated feel of game royal corduroy. Olivias AF1 nods to the New York streets from which they were born, while unequivocally making a statement wherever they go.
Nike x Olivia Kim MOWABB
First released in 1991 as a running-hiking hybrid, Olivia pays homage to the original intention of the Mowabb as a transitional sneaker. Her reimagining reflects Olivia’s own contrarian approach to fashion, presenting a style that can take you anywhere. The teal and red colorway contrasts the brown and black upper to emphasize the footwear’s dual personalities.

To say that Nike is a sportswear brand would be to undervalue the brand on multiple levels. From dominating the world of technical sports and lifestyle products and just about everything in between, Nike has created reputation as one of the world’ most innovative companies. For Summer ’15, Nike brings back the Dunk CMFT PRM White, Lunar Force 1 14′ PRM White, and Blazer Lux PRM White. Featuring full-grain leather upper and clean, all-white aesthetic for classic comfort and a vintage look.
Nike Sportswear taps into the global dominance of the Air Force 1 with yet another “City Pack” of releases. The set is comprised of tonal colorways with uniquely stitched uppers represent not only the aerial maps of each distinct city, but of the signature lines of the Air Force 1. New York City, Paris, and Shanghai are the cities highlighted in this stylized street map collection. For the sock liner, a geometric all-over print pattern highlights the iconic architecture characterizing the individual style capitols. Ladies, make sure you add this heavy hitter to your collection coming soon at Wish.
