Spotted at Paris Fashion Week: the Sacai x Nike Hybrid Collection

The SACAI x NIKE HYBRID COLLECTION was unveiled at Paris Fashion Week, with the Japanese label putting their own unique spin on some classic silhouettes from the Nike archives.

Sacai’s Chitose Abe worked at Comme des Garçons for eight years, before launching Sacai in 1999. Taking inspiration from her surroundings and everyday life, Sacai’s use of innovative fabric combinations and pattern techniques gives classic pieces a futuristic new look. These innovative mash-ups were spotted at Paris Fashion Week: the low version chops up Nike’s Waffle Daybreak and LDV, while the high-top unites the Blazer and Dunk. When asked about the collaboration, Abe said, “Sacai has always been about hybridisation, so the Nike sneaker collaboration was about a hybridisation of classic Nikes with new models with double tongues, double shoelaces and double swooshes”. As Frankenshoes go, these are definitely at the top of the stack and we expect them to be very popular when they eventually release.

The SACAI x NIKE HYBRID COLLECTION is rumoured to be dropping in January 2019 in very limited numbers. In the meantime, click the banner below to check out the latest releases at NIKE ahead of the drop…
