From sleek player suits, trousers, and trenches to accessories like stockings, gloves, and sunglasses, the Nike x Martine Rose Collection encompasses the essence of elevated style and athletic prowess. Notably, it features the Nike x Martine Rose Shox Mule MR 4, a stunning embodiment of performance and design innovation.
This collaboration represents a transformative moment in both fashion and sport, ushering us into a progressive “after” world where inclusivity, equality, and inspiration reign supreme. With a focus on dismantling gender norms, Martine Rose’s gender-free tailored suiting transcends societal boundaries, delivering a message of strength, resilience, and beauty. The designer’s vision extends beyond gender, embracing a vision where anyone can confidently don the powerful symbol of a suit. By closing the gender gap and emphasizing the essence of the game, Martine Rose hopes to shift the conversation away from gender and towards the pure love of sport.
When a woman wears a suit, it expresses strength, resilience and beauty. I want women to feel powerful in their suits like men do. More than that, although I’m using women to tell the story, there’s no gender attached to the suit. Anyone can wear it. I hope one day we’re not talking about gender in sport and are just talking about the sport. Once everything is stripped back, it’s just the game that’s left.
– says Martine Rose.
Marking a pivotal moment in women’s football, this collection is perfectly timed to coincide with the premier sporting event of the summer. Designed to be worn in meaningful and nuanced ways, it reflects the dynamic spirit and individuality of those involved in the game. Embracing the unique intersection of sports, fashion, and culture, Martine Rose’s collaboration with Nike carries a profound meaning, infusing each piece with purpose and symbolism.
Renowned Nike athlete and member of the United States Women’s National Team, Megan Rapinoe, expresses her admiration for the collection, recognizing the powerful fusion of sports culture and fashion. Martine Rose’s ability to imbue her work with depth and significance resonates with athletes, as they witness their special moment captured in these remarkable designs.
I love the mash-up that sports and fashion and culture has become, and as an athlete, I’ve always wanted what we wear to stand for more. I think Martine, as a designer inspired by sports culture, is able to pull so much meaning into her work, and for her to be able to express herself through this moment that is so special to us is really cool — and obviously the pieces are just dope.
– says Megan Rapinoe.
