When you think of Nike, a very specific “Jordan” comes to mind. But for the athletic brand’s latest collaboration, they’ve joined forces with Bill Jordan and his company Realtree. Founded in 1986, Realtree was Jordan’s attempt to make camo patterns that actually, well, looked like foliage, as opposed to the more abstract options we’d been seeing for decades. The Georgia-based firm is now the world’s largest camo brand thanks to its photo-realistic prints, which give hunters a serious advantage in the woods. However, recent years have seen Realtree crossover to become a legit style brand as well. That’s why Nike has tapped them for its Jordan Brooklyn Fleece Pullover Hoodie.
Part of the Jordan lifestyle brand (Michael this time, not Bill), the Brooklyn hoodie is very loose-fitting, making it perfect for layering over tees and even long-sleeves. Construction-wise, the fleece is built with a blend of cotton (80%) and polyester (20%), making it both incredibly soft and pretty darn durable. The outside is smooth like Nike’s other fleece items, giving this a decidedly athletic edge. Even if it weren’t for its outdoor-themed Realtree print, this is also a great pick for hiking or other outdoor activities — hunting included.
On the inside, it’s lined with cotton-polyester fleece that’s plush for exceptional warmth. Meanwhile, the hood is lined with 100% cotton for even more comfort when the temperatures dip. Despite its coziness, the pullover hoodie is also a solid pick for moderate days with its lightweight fit and layering ability.
If you’re looking to color-match, you can pair this sweatshirt with one of Nike’s several Realtree items, including the Jordan Brooklyn Woven Pants, the Calm Realtree Slides, or the Air Force 1 ‘07 Realtree sneakers.
Priced at just $75, the Jordan Brooklyn Fleece Realtree Pullover Hoodie is available now from Nike’s website.
