Following up a previous collaborative release of travel-ready sportswear that was made with the summer's Rio athletes in mind, British fashion designer Kim Jones helped Nike to increase its offerings.
Like its former collection, the latest designs were made to be easily packed -- meaning that the apparel can be quickly folded down into super small sizes. With this, Kim Jones and Nike ensure that the collection is suited to those looking for travel-ready alternatives that don't miss out on a fashionable aesthetic or a functional use of fabric.
Using Nike's 'Tech Fleece' technology, the sportswear is cozy and breathable at the same time -- making it perfect for athletes training in the colder seasons. In addition to this, the fabric gives a well-structured look to the pieces, which adds to the modern and minimalist look that's carried throughout.
