Nike introduces a new, seasonal initiative called Artist Collection. In collaboration with women artists around the world, Nike is creating fitness and lifestyle products. The first collection drops on August 8, 2024, and will be available only at Nike.

Nike highlights emerging female artists with its new Artist Collection. Starting this season, Nike highlights a new artist each season, the first being Anna Deller-Yee, who has designed a fall collection for 2024.
The collection includes Nike Alate bra, One leggings, a matching Phoenix Fleece set, and additional fitness and lifestyle designs in one holistic capsule.
The American-Japanese and Chinese-German artist from Chicago is known for her colorful, floral designs. In the past, Deller-Yee has worked for names such as Marni and Mugler. During the opening of the Olympics last week, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour appeared in one of her creations. Now the designer is gearing up for a collection with Nike.
"I want women who wear pieces from our Nike Women Artist Collection to feel ready: ready to conquer the day and night, ready to navigate the places they take up and hold in society, ready to feel confident in their bodies," Deller-Yee says.
The signature floral motifs are reflected in every piece in the collection. Deller-Yee uses a watercolor effect to create a bold yet soft mix of colors and textures. With her designs, Deller-Yee aims to encourage an active dialogue between body, femininity, movement, and strength.
"To me, this collection conveys the message that through softness and fluidity, we stand strong and confidently on our own two feet," says Deller-Yee. "I hope that through the choice of artwork and the story behind it, the collection will resonate with all women who choose to wear these styles, bringing them a sense of pride."
