NIKE SAFARI MOVES:
Animal print and wood texture imagery unite in unlikely harmony with polka dots, stripes and diamonds to comprise the Nike Tight of the Moment—Safari Moves. Together, the contrasting prints create an unexpected visual, a signature of the Nike Tight of the Moment series.
Near the waist, a picture of snow leopard fur serves as a timely reminder that winter is on the horizon. A wooden motif on the thighs and ankles lends a pop of seasonal color. The placement of stripes, polka dots and diamonds provides a playful interpretation of classic designs.
Using digital sublimation, a process that employs a heat press to send ink from a printed picture onto a piece of fabric, designers could be very precise in where to place the prints. Specifically, the prints were body-mapped to create a flattering look.
In addition, soft Nike Dri-FIT fabric pulls sweat away from the skin to help keep legs dry and comfortable.
The Nike Tight of the Moment—Safari Moves comes in two Nike Pro styles, the Nike Pro Tight and Nike Pro Sports Bra. Both will be available in select retailers and on
nike.com beginning Nov. 15.

wear list backs of celebs---we can see why. We previewed some of the Spring 2014 pieces-but A/W 2013 selections are
available online.

Leather is not typical base layer fabric for the athletically inclined---but this collection features mesh/perforated zones that allow some breathable activity. What we love-the trendy on edge pieces are as comfy to wear as gym clothes with luxury stretch woven knits in the mix-sourced from Paris= street chic.
