As the world pares down and gets back to basics, Nike emerges with a new sportswear product line that focuses on eight iconic Nike styles inspired by the single slogan of “Designed for sport. Remastered for life.”
The re-designs are timeless and effortlessly cool. Streetwear aficionados will want to hurry to grab one of the eight original and hybrid items now synonymous with the Nike brand—which include the windrunner, the Air Force 1, the Dunk, the Air Max 90, the Cortez, the AW77 hoodie, the track jacket and the NSW tee.
To help you find them, Nike gives us the down-low on Berlin’s best streetwear stores.
Overkill
To the street
With their recent expansion, Overkill now offers a larger clothing selection and an especially impressive sneaker assortment.
Nike Town

This Nike mecca can be hard to navigate, but just ask an employee to direct you to the Nike Sportswear section and you’ll be there in no time.
Selected Store
Just buy it
Hip Hop Vinyl’s store stays true to its rap origins with their large selection of sneakers. Try your hand at rhyming “I said give me two pair / I need two pair / So I can get to stompin’ in my Air Force Ones” over and over again.
