Nike and Carhartt WIP Team Up for Limited Collection at SURPLUS Sydney Event
Nike and Carhartt WIP have joined forces once again to release a limited apparel collection at the upcoming SURPLUS Sydney event on October 18. The highly anticipated collection will feature a co-branded OG Active Jacket, a hoodie, and graphic t-shirts, all showcasing the iconic logos of both brands.
A Surprising Partnership
When Nike and Carhartt WIP first announced their partnership in 2018, it came as a surprise to many. The collaboration brought together America’s top sports gear brand with the trusted workwear purveyor, resulting in a range of reimagined Nike footwear silhouettes. Now, the two brands are back with an apparel capsule for the SURPLUS Sydney event, promising to deliver a lineup of co-branded garments that will surely impress.
Reimagined Classics
The collection will feature a revamped version of Carhartt WIP’s OG Active Jacket, with Nike adding a burnished, washed-out finish to the classic canvas fabric. The jacket also features a Nike SURPLUS swoosh graphic on the back, along with the usual Carhartt tag placement on the pocket. The capsule will also include a hooded sweatshirt and a graphic tee, featuring a bold lime green Swoosh juxtaposed with a branded Carhartt pocket.
Exclusive to SURPLUS Sydney
While the limited collection will only be available to attendees of the SURPLUS event in Sydney, some speculate that this could be a sign of a wider revamp of the collaboration between Nike and Carhartt WIP. The workwear label, known for its “Work in Progress” line, has been collaborating with various brands since partnering with Nike eight years ago. With recent collaborations with Japanese labels Sacai and Junya Watanabe, and even offering Japan exclusives, it’s clear that Carhartt WIP is no stranger to successful partnerships.
What’s Next?
Could this limited collection be a hint at future collaborations between Nike and Carhartt WIP? Some believe that the recent Carhartt WIP x Converse CONS Pack, which was released in 2024, could be a sign of more to come from Nike. While there has been no official confirmation from either brand, fans can’t help but speculate about the possibility of a new footwear line-up featuring a duck canvas upper, in line with Carhartt WIP’s utilitarian character.
Get Your Hands on the Collection
The Nike x Carhartt WIP collection will be available for purchase at Carhartt WIP’s bespoke WIPNEWS stall at the SURPLUS Sydney event on Saturday, October 18, 2025. Don’t miss your chance to snag these exclusive pieces from two iconic brands.
