Year of the windrunner: Nikelab x Stone Island

In 2016, the year of sport’s ultimate #competition, #nike is celebrating its foremost apparel icon: the #nike #windrunner Jacket. Designed in the late '70s, the silhouette has been a fixture on medal stands and city streets ever since — seen on everyone from distance runners to spinning b-boys.

This “Year of the Windrunner” celebration begins with two #nikelab partnerships: #stoneisland and sacai. Both have reimagined the #nike #windrunner with an inventive use of new materials, shapes and colors.

NIKELAB X STONE ISLANDSince its establishment in 1982, Italian sportswear brand #stoneisland has developed a cult following for its innovative fabric surface treatments. The brand's famous "compass" logo, which typically appears on garment sleeves, signals quality to discerning consumers from London to Milan and Toronto to New York. In collaboration with #nikelab, #stoneisland delivers inimitable swagger to an undisputed athletic apparel classic.

The chevron and hood of the #nikelab x #stoneisland #windrunner are constructed with water and wind-resistant Mussola Gommata fabric, formed by bonding lightweight cotton muslin to an opaque polyurethane film. Nylon Metal, a proprietary #stoneisland fabric with a metallic sheen, is featured on the body of the garment, which is lined with PrimaLoft®.

While the exterior of the jacket is monochromatic, it mimics the traditional #nike #windrunner colorblocking through Stone Island’s garment dyeing process. The result is a subtle distinction between the shades of the Mussola Gommata and Nylon Metal fabrics. The silver PrimaLoft® lining provides a stunning contrast to the monochromatic exterior, while the oversized trims contribute to a rugged look.

The NikeLab x #stoneisland #windrunner jacket will be available on December 17 at select #nikelab retailers and on nike.com/nikelab.
