Nike introduced 'Studio Fleece,' a collection informed by insights from more than 300 women worldwide and designed as a unified system of sportswear staples that move seamlessly through every part of an athlete's day. The line features two fits, a closer-fitting standard cut and a relaxed oversized cut, across three weights engineered for varying levels of warmth, structure and layering versatility.
Lightweight and mediumweight pieces use a five-time sueded face treatment for exceptional softness, while heavyweight silhouettes feature a brushed, reverse-heather construction for premium comfort and heritage sport style. The collection launches in Total Black and Birch Heather, with Total Black styles made using a new Nike dye innovation engineered to resist color fading for at least 30 washes.
Nike shows how applying rigorous product engineering to fleece basics can elevate a familiar wardrobe staple into a differentiated system built for modern, sport-inspired living.
