The NikeLab Essentials Summer 2017 Collection merges athletics and aesthetics

The new NIKELAB ESSENTIALS SUMMER 2017 COLLECTION is a focussed range of sartorial sportswear that puts the “fit” into “sick fit bro”.

As always with the NikeLab Essentials range, we’re treated to a selection of well-considered products that look as good as they perform. The boundary between fashion and athletic wear has been blurred in recent years with the rise of ‘athleisure’, but all too often that just means people wearing sweatpants when they shouldn’t. But the new Essentials collection straddles the two worlds perfectly, with a range of sharply-styled pieces coming in a simple summer-ready palette of white, black, tan and the unmistakeable pop colour of SS17, soft pink. The coveted NikeLab sideways logo appears on hoodies, tees, and pants and shorts, all of which will slot into your daily wardrobe just as easily as your gym bag. A selection of grid-patterned tees and tank tops round out the collection, sitting alongside gym shorts on the more obviously athletic end of the Essentials spectrum. As always, crisp shapes are combined with sleek technical details to enhance and elevate these sportswear staples.
