Original — Nike
Jacquard Knit Polo
About the original
A short-sleeve polo shirt woven from a jacquard knit that produces the Nike and Supreme wordmarks as an all-over repeat pattern with contrast ribbed collar and sleeve trim. Nike was founded in 1964 in Eugene, Oregon, as Blue Ribbon Sports by Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman and renamed in 1971. Jacquard knitting builds a pattern into the fabric structure itself rather than printing or embroidering it on top, which is why the graphic is visible on both faces of the cloth. It released as a Supreme exclusive in the FW18 Nike capsule.
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.
