DSM NY x Nike Sportswear NYC Long-Sleeve T-Shirt
Release Date: 12/21/13
Price: $160
Inspired by the Nike Sportswear NYC Long-Sleeve T-Shirt, a shoe that Nike first released in 1987, Nike expands upon its ongoing partnership with Dover Street Market to design the Nike Sportswear NYC Long-Sleeve T-Shirt DSM NYC capsule collection.
A tribute to the symbiotic relationship between the court and the street, and the style that results, the four-piece capsule nods to the Nike Sportswear NYC Long-Sleeve T-Shirt’s street culture roots and at the same time represents Dover Street Market’s avant-garde style. Along with an exclusive take on the Nike Sportswear NYC Long-Sleeve T-Shirt shoe, the collection comprises a Nike Sportswear NYC Long-Sleeve T-Shirt DSM NYC Destroyer Jacket, Nike Sportswear NYC Long-Sleeve T-Shirt DSM NYC T-Shirt, and Nike Sportswear NYC Long-Sleeve T-Shirt DSM NYC True Cap.
The Nike Sportswear NYC Long-Sleeve T-Shirt DSM NYC shoe appears in all black, a monochrome take on the bold, updated sneaker that debuted in September. Crafted from premium semi-gloss leather, it features a detailed embossed python pattern across the entire upper, including the rolled edges. The luminescence even extends to the light-reflective tongue, while a Dover Street Market-branded sock liner, leather collar lining, and complementary white rubber midsole and outsole add to the impact.
Fusing the snake’s legendary look with a varsity sport classic, the black Nike Sportswear NYC Long-Sleeve T-Shirt DSM NYC Destroyer Jacket employs the same python leather across the front panel, where it is bonded to a reflective 3M material that reads: Air Python. The back, meanwhile, features one of two designs. The first spells out Nike using the aforementioned combination of leather and reflective material. This graphic is placed above a Dover Street Market logo formed from reflective material and a rubber screen print. The second design presents the signature Dover Street Market hut crafted from laser-cut python leather.
Other items include the Nike Sportswear NYC Long-Sleeve T-Shirt DSM NYC T-Shirt. A white crewneck, the shirt boasts an original illustration dominated by a python, with allusions to the shoe’s past. It places the snarling snake in the center of a basketball court with an urban skyline in the background and a typographic ode to 1987, the year the Nike Sportswear NYC Long-Sleeve T-Shirt debuted, in the upper corner. Additionally, the black Nike Sportswear NYC Long-Sleeve T-Shirt DSM NYC True Cap introduces a python leather bill while a 3D reflective heat transfer spells out Nike on the crown and an embroidered Dover Street Market logo appears on the side.
The Nike Sportswear NYC Long-Sleeve T-Shirt DSM NYC collection releases Dec. 2013, exclusively at Dover Street Market.
