The creative minds over at Rowing Blazers are back with a new collaboration. This time around, the New York-based label serves up a new capsule collection with K-Swiss. The two have aligned to blend a nostalgic aesthetic with tennis heritage, offering up something iconic and classic. The collection consists of apparel and footwear, highlighting ’90s-inspired designs throughout. The capsule features a graphic pullover windbreaker, a French terry crewneck sweatshirt, nylon shorts, cotton twill caps, and a black cotton tee.
The collaboration also features a new take on the Si-18 sneaker. The silhouette features a ’90s color palette, collaborative Rowing Blazers x K-Swiss branding, and technical elements, including asymmetric midsoles and a D-R Cinch lacing system. Rowing Blazers founder Jack Carlson spoke about the collaboration. He stated: “I’ve been wearing K-Swiss since I was a kid, and the Si-18 is an iconic tennis shoe in a way that just a small number of sneakers are truly important in the history of athletic footwear. So this collaboration is very meaningful for me. I wanted to use a very wearable ‘90s palette, and I was inspired by the tennis gear I collected growing up, going to the Open, and attending tennis camps. Although rowing became my main sport, tennis was always my passion.”
Check out the new capsule collection in the images below and head over to Rowing Blazers or K-Swiss to pick up your favorite pieces. In the meantime, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more style, streetwear, and sneakers coming soon.
