Italian fashion designer Riccardo Tisci has been working with NikeLab for years. His latest project is a new collection of sportswear dubbed ‘Victorious Minotaurs”.

This latest collaboration is an effort to blend sports, streets, and elegance — something Tisci has stated he truly believes in. The ‘Victorious Minotaurs’ collection is heavily inspired by Tisci’s love for the NBA and the fashion choices made by basketball players to express their style.

Crossing multiple eras, Tisci partnered with NikeLab to create three sportswear pieces: an Oxford shirt, track pants, and even a take on the iconic varsity jacket. At the center of the collection stands another icon, one from Nike and a favorite of Riccardo Tisci, the Air Force 1.

“I’m obsessed with the shoe,” said Riccardo Tisci in a statement. “It’s very clean and pure, but at the same time elaborate. It’s the shoe that best represents my style and my collaboration with Nike.”

Showcasing the style inspiration basketball players give Tisci, the NikeLab x RT Air Force 1 features a unique logo at the toebox that pays homage to the famed Jerry West NBA logo. The classic red, white, and blue color scheme is also detailed throughout the entire collection.

The NikeLab x RT Victorious Minotaurs Collection will begin rolling out soon, starting October 12 in North America, October 20 in Paris, then globally October 21 at NikeLab stores and online.
