About the original
The Nike Club Fleece crewneck is an 80% cotton, 20% polyester brushed-back fleece sweatshirt that has been a Nike Sportswear staple since the 1990s, with ribbed cuffs, a ribbed hem, and a crew neckline. Nike was founded in Eugene, Oregon in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman before adopting the Nike name in 1971. The SS22 Supreme collab uses the same Club Fleece construction with a tackle-twill arced Supreme wordmark across the chest and a Nike Swoosh applied to the lower left side. Released May 26, 2022 at $138 in Purple, Red Camo, Black, and Heather Grey; the standard Nike Club Fleece crew retails around $65.
About Nike
Nike is an American sportswear corporation founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by track coach Bill Bowerman and runner Phil Knight in Eugene, Oregon, and renamed Nike in 1971. The Swoosh was designed that same year by graphic design student Carolyn Davidson for thirty-five dollars. Bowerman prototyped the Cortez and the waffle-sole Moon Shoe, and the Air Max line, introduced in 1987, made Tinker Hatfield's visible-air midsole a signature. Nike now produces footwear and apparel across running, basketball, football, and training, and owns Jordan Brand and Converse. Supreme has collaborated with Nike repeatedly since 2002 across Air Force 1, Air Max, and Dunk.
