Sportswear giant Nike introduces the familiar staple headwear in the form of the Sportswear Heritage 86 cap for the summer season. The cap is part of the brand's Heritage collection and highlights an 80s-inspired design, which is prominently noted by the Swoosh logo.
This branding element is informed through embroidered detailing and features a white outline for a standout look. The entire cap is constructed from soft cotton-twill materials and features a classic six-paneling layout. The baseball cap also features elements such as the adjustable strap on the back, embroidered eyelets, and a brownband on the internal part of the design. The summer-ready cap is set to launch online at MR PORTER.
