RUMORS ALLERT: Cav Empt x Nike Will the fashion system still manage to amaze us?

Welcome to the fashion world of the 21st century, where streetwear is the new luxurywear, where being together is better than alone and the rumors run faster than the official launches.

Indeed, new rumors have captured our attention because they see as protagonists two separate realities, street but born from different inspirations and stories: Cav Empt and Nike. A possible collaboration would seem to be at the door but, what should we expect?

Analyzing the past and the roots of the Cav Empt label, we can say that the Japanese brand, created by the graphic of BAPE, HUMAN MADE and Billionaire Boys Club, Sk8thing and Toby Feltwell of Nowhere, has always opted for an  innovative optic for the design of its items, technology and future are projected through tees, whose graphics always seem intent on canceling the perception that we all have of reality, through optical illusions, slogans and over cuts.

The Nike universe, however, is different, lives the today world, accompanies old and new generations in the everyday life, ranging between tastes, lifestyle, sportswear and successful collaborations (for example the memorable The Ten, Supreme x Nike x NBA or Nike x atmos).

So now we ask ourselves: what could a Cav Empt x Nike collection have in mind? Maybe on a sneaker? It would not be the first time for the Japanese brand, considering the collaboration with Vans of 2016. Or on a clothing capsule? One could imagine a fusion between the Nike fit and the Cav Empt graphics.
