Perhaps one of the most interesting products from a collaborative effort is the Nike Sportswear x Hipstamatic camera, which also involves photographer Chris Hornbecker. For those who are unfamiliar, Hipstamatic is a digital photography app for the iPhone that replicates the image qualities of an antique camera.
The Nike Sportswear x Hipstamatic camera reflects the concept of the app fairly well. It's got a vintage look in a gray case with a contrasting orange basketball stripe. In addition to the camera, a pack of black and white film (you know, before micro SDs came along?) will be included with the kit, so that you can start taking pictures right away.
The fantastic Nike Sportswear x Hipstamatic pack is now available for purchase.
