Last Thursday down at Bodega LA, we hosted a follow-up to Nike Re-Creation, an initiative that focuses on the potential of upcycling at the local level to revolutionize manufacturing on a global scale.

Partnering again with the Duke of deconstruction, the Raja of recycling himself, Defective Garments, the collection picked up where the previous offering left off. Showcasing one-of-a-kind pieces made from old clothing and forgotten textiles, garments long gone were brought back from the dead, ready to live another life.

 

 

Centering around Zac’s unique vision and emboldened by the use of concept materials and laser cutting which speak to future Nike tech, a skeleton motif helped conjure the Halloween spirits.

Displayed on recycled custom merchandising structures so the collection could be seen in all its undead glory, the team responsible - Are You Mad - was also posted up on-site, making incense holds, coasters, and hangers out of local recycled waste for people to take as souvenirs. Show-offs.

With Sandy’s Spicy Fruit squad covering food, chili watermelon, mango, and pineapple was flowing all night not to mention their killer esquites. This was key because that line outside did not let up, nor did the line inside for t-shirt screen printing by Individualist Lab and custom chain-stitching by Jean Bonnaz's crew.
