"When Nike and Carhartt WIP first joined forces in 2018, it felt like an unlikely marriage that somehow made perfect sense. The collaboration merged Nike's athletic legacy with Carhartt's utilitarian DNA, creating sneakers that blurred the line between performance and workwear. Fast-forward to 2025, and the two American powerhouses are revisiting their partnership-not for footwear this time, but for a tightly curated apparel capsule set to drop exclusively at Nike 's SURPLUS Sydney event."
"At the heart of the new Nike x Carhartt WIP capsule lies a reimagined version of Carhartt's OG Active Jacket-a cornerstone of American workwear since the early 1980s. The piece has been given a Nike update, featuring a burnished, washed-out finish that adds character to the traditional canvas fabric. True to Carhartt WIP's minimalist branding, the jacket retains its iconic square label on the front pocket, while Nike's contribution comes through in the form of a SURPLUS swoosh graphic stamped boldly across the back."
Nike and Carhartt WIP reunite for a 2025 apparel capsule that shifts focus from footwear to workwear-informed clothing. The collaboration reinterprets Carhartt WIP's utilitarian DNA through Nike's design language, balancing heritage and contemporary streetwear. Central to the capsule is a reimagined OG Active Jacket featuring a burnished, washed-out canvas finish that enhances character while preserving a minimalist square label. Nike adds a bold SURPLUS swoosh across the back, marrying function and statement. The collection emphasizes craftsmanship, materiality, and practical design, offering nostalgic references alongside progressive updates and an exclusive drop at Nike SURPLUS Sydney.
