Nike Football 2014 Player Collections @nikesoccer
In preparation for the 2014 Soccer World Cup in Brasil, we were invited by Nike to Madrid, to preview the new and innovative uniforms they have created for the ten federations who wear the iconic Nike check.
Each federation’s Home and Away kits, features cultural design elements unique to each country. While each piece combines high-tech innovation to keep players cool, such as laser-cut ventilation, engineered mesh and Nike’s signature Dri-FIT technology. Nike has also kept the environment in mind with each kit made from fabric that comes from recycled plastic bottles.
Nike has also created a collection for players to wear throughout various moments during the tournament. Dubbed the “athlete journey” collection, and overseen by Martin Lotti, Creative Director for Nike Football, outfits players all the way from warm-ups, anthems, playing and training, to media appearances, travel and downtime in the training camp.
According to Lotti, “the overall goal was to create iconic and memorable pieces for the players to wear throughout their time in Brasil,” said Lotti. “This is the biggest moment in their football careers; we wanted to deliver players our very best product to help them perform their best on-pitch and inspire them off-pitch.”
