Plaid Sweatshort (Supreme exclusive)
About the original
The Supreme x Nike Plaid Sweatshort is a mid-length athletic short cut from cotton plaid flannel with an elasticized drawcord waist, side pockets, and a single welt back pocket with an embroidered Supreme tag; the Nike Futura logo is embroidered at the front hem. Nike, Inc. was founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by track coach Bill Bowerman and runner Phil Knight in Eugene, Oregon, and rebranded as Nike in 1971. The FW18 Supreme x Nike apparel range pushed the Swoosh into non-performance leisure silhouettes, and this short was produced as a Supreme exclusive — not part of Nike's standalone retail line. It released in black/white, burgundy, navy, and mustard colorways.
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.
