The US Patent Office has issued sportswear brand Nike‘s patent

case a sports shoe.

Nike OTC Meeting 2019

I have been blogging about the following event for almost ten years, hoping 
to join one day.
In January that day finally came and I had the wonderful chance to go to 
this year's Nike OTC Meeting in Tokyo! 
The theme for 2019 was deadstock before 1985.
After all the see-and-be-seen hype events of the past years, this evening was 
so refreshing, being able to spend some quality time with like-minded 
collectors, nerding out over the craziest sneaker heat and making new 
friends.A big thank you to Nic, Shin-Ichiro and all OTC members for inviting 
me into your microcosm and making me feel so welcome! 
I am hoping to make this a regular, so I am very much looking forward to see 
you all next year!

Nike Fast Lab

I spent the last two days at the Nike Fast Lab to check out what the 
brand had been working on an get a sneak peek at what's soon to come.
There is a small recap of the impressive space after the jump, but
you can have a look for yourself tomorrow:

The Ten

Virgil Abloh and Nike announced their new design project “The Ten”
The 10 shoes were divided into two themes. The first, “REVEALING,” was 
designed to look accessible: hand-cut, open-source and reconstructed. 
It includes the Air Jordan I, Nike Air Max 90, Nike Air Presto, Nike Air 
VaporMax and Nike Blazer Mid. 
The second, “GHOSTING,” was designed with translucent uppers to further 
the idea of revealing and unite the second set of silhouettes through common 
material. 
It includes the Converse Chuck Taylor, Nike Zoom Fly SP, Nike Air Force 1 
Low, Nike React Hyperdunk 2017 and Nike Air Max 97.

In one gesture, I wanted to underscore how the design system and 
manufacturing of Nike are so perfect,” says Abloh. “By combining these 
shoes with design that amplifies their ‘handmade’ quality, we’re 
intensifying the human element and expanding the emotional connection of 
these 10 icons.”

Nike will host “Nike Off Campus” events in New York City and London to 
celebrate The Ten through presentations of the full collection and 
exchanges about the ideas that inspired it. "Nike Off Campus" will take 
place in New York City from September 6 to 8 at 23 Wall Street and in 
London from September 14 to 19 at NikeLab 1948 LDN.

The first five icons of The Ten — the Air Jordan I, Nike Blazer, Nike Air Presto, 
Nike Air Max 90 and Nike Air VaporMax — will be pre-released at NikeLab 
stores in New York City (Sept. 9-13), London (Sept. 18-22), Milan (Sept. 21-25) 
and Paris (Sept. 26-30).

The full collection including all ten silhouettes will be available in November 
at NikeLab stores and select retailers worldwide.

On Tueday Nike launched their new Footwear App. Extrending the Nike 
SNEAKRS desktop experience for a more fluid mobile experience, the app

Nike Boston 73

40 years ago, a young runner received a package as he prepared for 
Boston. That runner was Bill Rodgers. And the package came from 
Oregon legend Steve Prefontaine. Pre sent Rodgers a short note along 
with a pair of running shoes. 
They were Boston 73’s, created by a company called Nike.
The shoes fit a little loose, but they were the best he owned. 
Rodgers would tighten them as he toed the starting line come race 
morning. Two hours, nine minutes, and fifty-five seconds later, he 
went on to win the race and break an American Record.
