Nike Icon Project By LALO

An interesting new project has surfaced, celebrating the 8 icons of Nike. The Icon Project is a collaborative effort with LALO, known for their various product developments for other brands and their connection with Silas and Maria.

LALO took an artisanal approach with the products, which have all been carefully sourced and produced in high quality. Each item comes in a hand made stamped box and is individually labelled and numbered. The labels are hand embroidered and the branding consists of a small engraved swoosh on the silver beads and zip pulls that decorate them.

Unfortunately the Icon Project is very limited and only 64 pieces have been produced, which will never go on sale.viahighsnobiety
