After a string of collaborations, including Kim Jones, Stone Island, and Riccardo Tisci, NikeLab returns to its seven year partnership with Jun Takahashi’s Undercover line, Gyakusou, for a sportswear collection of adept versatility. Following last season’s Summer of Sport line, the pair drops Perfectly Unbalanced, a figure-hugging “body map” that breathes as well as it looks. Engineered knits, a staple of the release, are worked into 3-layer weatherized jackets, running leggings, and tees, with the ever-enviable Nike Zoom Streak 6 sneaker providing a gradient-mesh base. Both Dri-FIT and Aeroreact technology are glossed over with color-blocked patterns that are electric in execution and continue the deep palette of line’s past. With a heavy runner’s hand visible throughout, the collection bleeds its creator’s passion for the sport—Takahashi swears on hitting the pavement as his biggest creative inspiration—and rounds out NikeLab’s interactive and collaborative design messaging.
