Upon launching the collection, she said, "In collaboration with Nike, I wanted to create a collection that was a minimalist interpretation of women's sportswear. I was inspired by vintage ACG and the Nike campaigns of the 90s, so I used these images to design my own interpretation of women's sportswear with details that appeal to the senses, neutral colors, and the Air Humara, which I love. The collection is accessible to a wide variety of people and is a natural fusion of Jacquemus' style and Nike's functionality," said Jacquemus.
The official release date in Japan is still undecided. We can't wait to see what kind of sportswear Nike and Jackums will create together.
