Everyone knows the best thing about the holidays are the gifts. Let’s be honest. And this season, Nike bestows upon us fitness and fashion addicts their Nike x Gyakusou Holiday ’11 collection, designed by cult-adored Undercover designer Jun Takahashi. The clothes are a like a beautiful yin-and-yang of pragmatism and fashion, of functionality and minimalism—it’s like meditating while being in a full on adrenaline rage. To celebrate the collection—which on October 15th hits select retailers such as Nike’s BOWERY STADIUM and the Sportswear shop on 21 Mercer in NYC (our beloved neighbors), as well as some Equinoxes and Aloha Rag—we present this gorgeous video featuring a monk-like Takahashi waxing sports serenity in a breathtaking Kyoto setting.
