Nike is expanding its presence in the fashion world, announcing a new partnership with Swedish label Our Legacy Work Shop that will see the two brands introduce a performance-focused running collection in Spring 2027.
The collaboration will bring together Nike's technical expertise and Our Legacy's distinctive approach to contemporary menswear, with an entirely new selection of footwear and clothing designed for both men and women. Unlike traditional collaborations that reinterpret existing products, the upcoming release will feature original silhouettes developed specifically for the partnership.
Leading the project are Our Legacy co-founder Jockum Hallin and Jarrett Reynolds, Nike's Vice President and Creative Director of Energy Collaborations. Together, the pair are exploring how technical running equipment can fit into everyday wardrobes, creating pieces that offer the functionality of performance sportswear without sacrificing the understated aesthetic associated with the Stockholm-based label.
Speaking to 'The Business of Fashion', Reynolds explained that the collection has been developed from the ground up, with both brands looking beyond existing Nike designs. It will see performance technology incorporated into more stripped-back silhouettes, with an emphasis on versatility and clothing that can transition between exercise and everyday life.
The partnership comes as running continues to influence the wider fashion industry, with technical footwear, lightweight fabrics and performance-inspired clothing becoming increasingly prominent within contemporary wardrobes. For Nike, the project represents another opportunity to connect its sporting heritage with fashion-conscious consumers, while Our Legacy continues to expand its influence beyond traditional ready-to-wear.
The collaboration also marks another significant development for the Swedish brand, which received a minority investment from LVMH in 2024 and has since continued to grow its international presence.
Ahead of the official launch, Nike and Our Legacy Work Shop are expected to introduce a series of smaller projects using vintage Nike clothing and leftover materials, offering an early look at the creative direction behind the partnership.
The Nike x Our Legacy Work Shop collection is scheduled to arrive in Spring 2027 through both brands' retail channels and a selection of international stockists.
