Nike for Liberty launch SS12 collection.

Superbrand Nike joins forces with the iconic London department store Liberty for a collection that celebrates both modern sportswear and British heritage. The Nike x Liberty collection comprises trainers, vests, shorts and fitness hoodies all in the sports brand’s signature styles remixed with the infamous Liberty Laurel print.

Running enthusiasts will love the Nike x Liberty Free 5.0 Trainers (£90 from Liberty.com). Made with the very best sportswear technology, these running shoes are the closet thing your feet will get to barefoot running and look stylish whilst doing so with a choice of three Liberty print colourways. Choose from striking Sport Red, subtle Imperial Purple or sweet University Gold and get jogging.

With the hype of the Olympics growing daily, what better time to invest in some new fitness wear. Nike x Liberty’s athletic Racer Back Vests (£45 from Liberty.com) feature just a hint of the classic Liberty floral print, ensuring your look stylish at the gym or running in the park. Make the most of your sportswear too, and covet the Sports Luxe trend as seen on the catwalks of Stella, Kenzo and Victoria Beckham this season, and pair your vest with some luxury silk joggers, a cream biker and some killer heels.

Also making the Nike x Liberty team this season are the retro inspired Time Out Shorts (£55 at Liberty.com). Available in champion red, charcoal grey or sporty marl, these cute running shorts will add both an athletic edge and a sweet girlish charm to your look, thanks to the Liberty print side panels.

And finally, the Nike x Liberty Time Out Hoodies (£85 from Liberty.com) will keep you comfy and cosy when going to or from the gym, or indeed just chilling on the sofa. The traditional Nike hoodies are brightened up with the well known busy print in the lining and inside the hood.

The Nike x Liberty collection is available online at Liberty.com and in store at the Nike pop up store at Liberty London from April 2012. Prices start from £45.
