Nike's 'Every Stitch Considered' is a capsule collection that offers a more minimalist take than what's expected from the brand. This line seamlessly balances aesthetics with function, providing pieces that are understated, subtle and design-focused. The line largely features gender neutral silhouettes that arrive in more neutral colorways, like black and white.
The line is best described by Nike's VP of apparel, Kurt Parker, who said that ""Every Stitch Considered is ultimately a sportswear-inspired lifestyle collection, but our unique understanding of the body in motion, based in decades of scientific study, paired with dedicated old-world Italian craftsmanship, sets these garments apart as distinct, timeless articles." What's more, is that each piece has hidden functions, such as a jacket with backpack straps.
