Another day, another designer collaboration... And this time around, it's the sportswear collection we never knew we needed – and already can't get out of our heads.

After months of speculation, which started when models in Jacquemus' 'La Montagne' campaign were spotted wearing what looked like Nike trainers, the two brands have finally announced that they are working together on an exclusive collaborative collection – and hypebeasts everywhere (us included) are beside themselves with excitement.

'For this collaboration with Nike, I wanted to create a collection that reinterprets athletic women’s sportswear in a minimal way,' said Simon Porte Jacquemus of the collaboration. 'I have always been inspired by vintage ACG pieces and Nike campaigns from the 90’s. Having this imagery in mind, we designed women’s athletic wear with sensuous details and neutral colours, along with my own interpretation of the Humara – my favourite Nike shoe.'

Blending Jacquemus' signature style and Nike's performance excellence, the collection has apparently been three years in the making will redefine 'summer ready-to-wear' with sport-inspired clothes, accessories and footwear. Jacquemus has also emphasised the importance of the collection being accessible, 'for all bodies'.

The brands have teased some of the pieces from the upcoming collection via Instagram, but so far we've only caught glimpses of a white backless bodysuit featuring a signature Nike swoosh, and some neutral-coloured shoes which feature both brand logos on the soles.

Clearly things are being kept very hush-hush for now, but we do know that the collection is set to drop on June 28 via the Jacquemus website... Let the countdown begin.
