Fri 1 Sep
The Women’s World Cup recently came to a close, and Nike Women continue to showcase the female power and different possibilities. The latest styling features the Nike x Martine Rose collection and stars Hong Kong-based, four-time Olympian and swimmer Stephanie Au with Olympian bronze medalist, Taiwanese karateka Wen Tzu-yun. The imagery shot against the backdrop of soccer fields and pays homage to women in soccer, stories of female empowerment and infinite possibilities on the field. The Nike x Martine Rose series aims to convey style, friendship, equality and positive change while celebrating every female athlete of this summer’s premiere sporting event.
“[If] you have a body, you are an athlete.”
Wen Tzu-yun
According to Wen Tzu-yun, acknowledging one’s body is the key to success: “[If] you have a body, you are an athlete.” Styled in the collection’s checkered suit set, Tzu-yun embodies inner strength. No matter the field, she celebrates her body, mind and spirit, inspiring other women to nurture similar self-assurance in their careers and hobbies.
The Nike x Martine Rose collection’s sartorial tailoring breaks down gender stereotypes in sport, setting a new precedent in women’s fashion on and off the pitch. Highlights of the collection include a player’s suit jacket, trousers, a trench jacket, a shirt and the most recent iteration of the Nike x Martine Rose Shox Mule MR 4, paired alongside accessories like colored stockings, gloves and sunglasses.
