Raw Performance

An investigation into the use of naturally sourced dyestuffs and pigments, focusing on their application to Nike's performance footwear materials and cushioning systems.
Pure Color. Pure Craft.
Through in-depth research, hands-on workshops, and local foraging, the most vibrant raw materials and color families were documented and curated into a comprehensive color and material palette featuring both organic and synthetic components.
The research also identified the most effective natural dyestuffs for synthetic materials, along with their specific dyeing processes.
