Nike x Liberty Summer 2015 collection

Will London-based Liberty will ever run out of prints? We highly doubt so.

Nike and Liberty are starting off the summer with a commemorative collaboration of the return of Nike Air Rift. Digging deep into the Liberty‘s archive, the Merlin print has been selected for its electrifying retro meets pop designer. The pattern of circles and concentric squares are a perfect and playful take for this Summer 2015 collection.

Apart from adding little quirky tweaks into the design, the creators from the famous athletic house have upped the ante of its product by using new blends of technical fabrics as well as customised fitting technology. Since its first introduction in 1996, the Nike Air Rift has always strived to be an inspiration to both runners and non-runners, and this edition does the same.

The collection also features other classic footwear designs such as the Nike Air Max 90 Ultra, Nike Tennis Classic Ultra, Nike Cortez, Nike Zenji and Nike Air Max Thea. These pieces have been revamped and Merlin-ed for their comeback. The exciting collection will also be featured alongside stylish athletic apparel pieces – talk about style meets performance.

To grab your hands on these facelifted designs, check out the exclusive launch at Liberty London on 23 April. If you are not in Europe, The Nike x Liberty Air Rift will be launched on the official site nike.com/sportwear and at select Nike Sportswear retailers on 4 May, while the rest of the collection will be available come 15 May.
