EDITORIAL/CAMPAIGN | Li-Ning x NINEpointNINE
Li-Ning and NINEpointNINE have come together to launch their debut collection, titled ‘Time Gate’, which seeks inspiration from the materials used throughout China’s architectural history and celebrates them.
The collection not only unveils a range of functional apparel but also guides individuals on a journey through the Gate of Time, allowing them to revisit the past and reconnect with the essence of "grey tiles" culture. "Grey tiles" symbolize the unglazed, greyish-blue tiles renowned for their beauty and simplicity, which have long been integral materials in ancient Chinese architecture.
Together, Li-Ning and NINEpointNINE collectively draw inspiration from the aesthetics and functionality of "grey tiles," seamlessly incorporating practical elements into their garments. They blend architectural beauty and outdoor utility by employing innovative waterproof fabrics and cutting-edge craftsmanship to produce a lineup of lightweight jackets, tops, shorts and bottoms that are suitable for urban commuting and outdoor exploration.
Take a closer look at their debut collection below.
