NIKE GLOBAL COLLAB
TO THE WORLD
First to ever design a global Nike collab out of India. The collection applied our love for bandhani (ofcourse) to sport forward silhouettes, designed to celebrate India in the athletic arena.
The collection included a capsule athletic collection, four footwear styles and a cross body bag that was available on nike.com and select global Nike stores. The campaign was shot by legendary photographer, Bharat Sikka with a cast of 12 epic women, mixed with pro athletes (including India cricket champs Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Varma) and a range of beauties.
“Our NorBlack NorWhite journey started with a deep
admiration for the crafts practices of India and the
people who bring them to life. This collection shines a light on the rigor, dedication and ancestral
knowledge that’s rooted in Indian culture, and we
hope each piece inspires women to draw into their
own athletic mindset while navigating everyday life in
India and around the world.”
“More than style, this collection is designed so women
feel comfortable during their rigorous workout sessions.
That means any girl can run, jump or wrestle in them
without worrying. By combining traditional colors and
patter ns with high-per for mance fabrics, the collection
encourages Indian women to join sports with confidence
and pride. It’s sportwear and culture walking hand in
hand, ensuring ever y Indian woman athlete feels
empowered.”— Anshu Malik, wrestler and Nike
athlete.
“This collection is all about showing the world
that Indian women are strong, bold and true to
who we are. What makes this campaign
special is that it’s not just telling women to join
the game — it’s showing their stories, strength
and style. It shows that spor t isn’t just for one
kind of person. Anyone can step up, play hard
and own their space. It proves that there’s no
one way to be strong — you just have to be
yourself.”
