In an era where sustainability is reshaping the fashion industry, Nike continues to lead the charge with groundbreaking initiatives. Nearly two years ago, Nike introduced the Re-Creation program, a visionary effort to collaborate with designers from around the world to transform vintage and deadstock materials into contemporary, stylish garments.

The latest chapter in this journey sees Nike teaming up with Peder Cho’s UTOPIA, a partnership that seamlessly blends Cho’s imaginative design approach with Nike’s commitment to sustainability. This collaboration has given birth to a unique collection that includes a range of items from cropped puffer vests to spacious lattice tote bags, all adorned with sleek, tonal Nike branding. The iconic Tech Fleece sets have also been reimagined, featuring new paneling and relaxed silhouettes that breathe fresh life into these classic pieces.

One of the standout creations from this collection is a woven bean bag, meticulously crafted using quilted jacket lining, showcasing Cho’s innovative touch and attention to detail. This eclectic piece complements the overall collection, which is characterized by its blend of practicality and avant-garde design.

The UTOPIA x Nike Re-Creation collection is currently available for purchase at Bodega’s Los Angeles store. For those unable to visit in person, any remaining inventory will be available online at Bodega’s website starting May 31. For those interested in the story behind this collaboration, Bodega offers an in-depth interview with the UTOPIA team, providing valuable insights into the creative process and the vision that brought this exciting project to life.

This collaboration not only highlights the potential of sustainable fashion but also sets a new standard for how brands can creatively repurpose materials while maintaining a high level of style and functionality.
