Function-Focused Adaptable Sportswear

Nike's New City Ready Campaign Features Sloane Stephens

In time for the fall, Nike launched its campaign for the City Ready collection, which consists of a small range of technical apparel that's meant to provide wearers with a stylish sporty aesthetic, while maintaining a sense of versatility that allows the pieces to be worn for a number of different purposes.

The City Ready campaign is promoted with a modern editorial, which features tennis player Sloane Stephens and dancer Olivia Burgess. In the shots, the two show off one-piece suits, cozy crewneck pullovers, sports bras, workout leggings of different lengths, bright weather-resistant jackets, and more.

The collection will make its debut in-stores starting September 6th in Europe, and on the 14th throughout the US.
