NiKE Sportswear Launch Recap

When ballers, rockers, and oglers from all corners collide, you know it’s bound to be interesting. Toss in this allegedly gigantic company called Nike, hang back, and watch the awesomeness ensue. And whad’ya know? That exact thing came to pass on the night of August 21st, when a quiet corner of Gateway Mall, Cubao manned up into Nike’s very own special retail installation and gig space.

The star of the show was clearly the Nike Sportswear 2008 collection. Simply put, those are remastered versions of 8 of its most iconic designs: Air Max 90, Air Force One, AW 77, Dunk, Sportswear Tee, Cortez, Eugene Track Jacket and Windrunner.

“Nike takes pride in being a brand that’s deeply rooted in sports. By remastering the Nike Sportswear 2008 line, we’re focusing on blending our sports heritage with new design innovation for consumers,” said Mae Dichupa, Nike Philippines Country Marketing Manager. Teamed with videos of the brand’s line-up of transnational superathletes, the exhibit became more than sneaker eye candy. It was pure Nike porn.

To amuse the mob that came in the name of sneakerdom, Kjwan dedicated an unacoustic acoustic set to the Swoosh. They’re the first in a dizzying cast of Pinoy bands scheduled to dominate the area all month long.

So it all boils down to location, location, location. “What better way to launch this line than with an installation here in Cubao? We’re where Filipino sporting history continues to be made, from boxing to the UAAP Season 71,” adds Mae. Well, no surprise there since you can always count on Nike to be where the epicness is.

Rivermaya performs at the Nike special retail installation at the 4th Floor, Gateway Mall, Cubao on Aug. 28, 2008. For updates, log on to www.nikesporstwear.com

Nike Sportswear 2008: Rooted in sports, remastered for life.

With almost four decades of sport history at its foundation, Nike Sportswear seeks to channel the genuine rebel spirit of Nike’s roots by crafting product that challenges the expected, asking designers to push athletic innovation to its extreme, remixing iconic designs with new technologies and making the best product for today’s needs.

The Nike Sportswear Collection, which carries eight Nike design icons, the Air Force 1, the Windrunner, AW 77 Hoody, the Nike Dunk, Air Max 90, Eugene Track Jacket, the Cortez and the Nike Sportswear Tee, have enjoyed “hardcore street credibility” since they launched, generating followers and aficionados all over the globe.

The 2008 Nike Sportswear Collection is available in the Philippines this month and to launch this, a special Nike retail installation store will be staged in Gateway Mall, Cubao where consumers can get up close and personal with the products and the Nike Sportswear experience.

To officially open the space KJWAN will perform LIVE on AUGUST 21, 2008 at 8 PM at the special Nike retail installation store located at the 4th floor of Gateway Mall, Cubao – ADMISSION IS FREE!

The special Nike retail installation will be up from August 21, 2008 until September 7, 2008. Other bands such as SANDWICH and ang banda ng bayan RIVERMAYA will also be performing on select dates at the space.
