Seller Description
Size: Medium (Fits slightly boxy, true to era)
Condition: Vintage / Wearable Archive
Up for sale is a highly coveted grail from the Autumn/Winter 2006 collaboration between Nike's premium "White Label" tier and avant-garde designer Bernhard Willhelm.
This ultra-rare capsule featured heavy, doodle-and-tattoo style black embroidery layered over crisp white sportswear. True production numbers were never officially released by Nike, but these were produced in extremely limited quantities and distributed only through Tier-0 accounts and top-tier global boutiques, making them incredibly scarce today.
Detailed Condition Report:
Please review the photos carefully, as this piece is being sold as-is with all flaws factored into the price.
Embroidery:
The iconic black embroidery is largely vibrant and intact, though there is some light pulling/loose threads concentrated on the right arm patch.
Hardware:
The zipper pull tabs of both zipper sliders are broken off. However, all original parts are included with the jacket, allowing for an possible fix or replacing the sliders by a tailor or restoration specialist.
Fabric:
Mostly clean and white. Though shows light vintage yellowing/oxidation typical of mid-2000s white nylon/polyester, which might be improved with a careful oxygen soak.
A true masterpiece of mid-2000s archival sportswear. Offers welcome, but lowballs will be ignored.
### 📂 Archival Context & Design History
This rare piece stems from the legendary Autumn/Winter 2006 collaboration between Nike and vanguard German designer Bernhard Willhelm. Facilitated by the renowned creative agency @multiple_identities, this collection was a foundational moment in blending avant-garde European runway fashion with sportswear.
Released strictly under Nike’s premium, limited-tier "White Label" division, it features Willhelm's signature maximalist style—translating a playful, chaotic sleeve of doodle-like motifs into incredibly dense, multi-colored chain-stitch embroidery. Rather than standard sportswear merchandise, this is a highly coveted artifact of mid-2000s fashion history.
