About the original
Nike's Printed Cotton Bandana is a 100% cotton square sized at roughly 21 by 21 inches, cut to wear as a headband, neck wrap, or traditional pocket bandana, with moisture-absorbing fabric and an allover printed Swoosh pattern. It sits in Nike's training accessories line alongside headbands, wristbands, and towels, and is sold through Nike, Dick's, and Hibbett at a standard retail of $16. Nike was founded as Blue Ribbon Sports in 1964 in Eugene, Oregon by Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman and renamed Nike in 1971. The FW19 Supreme version reprints the bandana with co-branded Swoosh and box logo graphics and retailed at $20.
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.
