Activewear giant Nike is set to launch Nike Tech Knit, a new product line which is a mix of traditional craftsmanship and advanced technology.
The apparel line features engineered panels that increase stretch in the garment, keep it warm and allow breathability. The garments are nearly seamless and are offered in a nylon-cotton blend for comfort. The collection also will includes a Nike Tech Knit Windrunner, which made its first presented in 1980 at the US Track and Field Olympic Trials, T-shirts and track pants.

Furthermore, all 21 Illinois athletic teams will wear Nike’s uniforms, apparels, gears, shoes and accessories for the next ten years as Illinois has extended its partnership with the company.
Pleased over the deal, Marty Kaufmann, Assistant Director – Athletics in Business Development at Illinois averred, “It was really important to keep the relationship with Nike. This goes back to almost two years ago when our decision was made, and with the support of our campus, to stay with Nike. The greatest challenge was making sure we were able to get that done and working with Nike. I think Nike gave us a deal where we are both very pleased with the terms.”
Headquartered in Oregon, Nike is an American multinational corporation that is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and worldwide marketing and sales of footwear, apparel, equipment, accessories and services.
