Nike driving innovations with new Tech Pack

March 22, 2019 0 By HearthstoneYarns

Sportswear giant Nike has developed its latest Tech Pack collection
using years of body motion and mapping analysis gathered from studying the
top athletes in the world in Nike’s Sport Research Lab.

The concept behind the new Nike Tech Pack for spring 2019 is to provide
more “versatile” pieces for a range of weather and workouts said the
sportswear brand, with pieces evolving running and training silhouettes
with a new design-forward philosophy that “harnesses a commitment to sports
innovation that takes precedence”.

Kurt Parker, Nike’s vice president of apparel design, explains on the
brand’s website: “We have a powerful vision for Nike apparel: to lead with
innovation that makes athletes better, pushing the edges of both
performance and style.

“Through new manufacturing technologies and new materials, we are
driving a bold future where everything is designed with movement in
mind.”

For the new collection, which will be available from December 20 and
includes training leggings, hoodies, T-shirts, shorts, jackets and fleece
pants, Nike has combined a new waffle knit and woven performance materials,
which was developed using years of body motion and mapping analysis.

Key pieces include Nike’s popular Windrunner jacket, which includes a
hood that zips into the collar and dropped back hem that has been designed
to keep the elements out, while the Dri-FIT Sphere transform running top
packs into its front pocket, and the Women’s crew and fleece pants that
have side zip features to allow you to stay warm or air it out.
