From his long tenure with the Nike team as a professional BMX rider and his awaited signature Jordan 1 that’s launching this weekend, Nigel Sylvester<\/strong> has curated his own style that also pairs well with a wide range of other Swoosh sporting favorites.<\/p>\n The Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 was designed to match the way his Jordan 1s look after rigorous riding sessions with distressed marks throughout which are typically caused by using his shoe as a brake. This simple idea factors into creating his own wardrobe style. It’s fairly simple and versatile enough so that it’s almost guaranteed to match whatever shoes Nike’s sending him on a regular basis.<\/p>\n Living in New York City, Nigel Sylvester is naturally exposed to an eclectic assortment of streetwear and clothing brands in a short radius of each other. And since he spends a lot of time actually riding his bike and filming his acclaimed GO<\/em> videos in exotic destinations around the world, his style has to be practical and functional while he’s mastering impressive video parts and longwinded trick list.<\/p>\n Nigel Sylvester is known for having an incredibly minimal style. That being said, it makes a statement and it’s versatile while he’s out riding. His go-to style as of late has been a simple long-sleeve shirt and black skinny jeans, making it easy to stack with his arsenal of Jordan 1s in almost every colorway. As shown in his GO<\/em> film from the New York stop, there’s a scene of him going into the A.P.C. store in Soho where he cashes in on some of the brand’s Petit New Standard jeans.<\/p>\n More often than not, his color palette is fairly muted, which allows most of the attention to stay focused on his shoes. And when the temperature in New York finally start to dip, he’s breaking out his impressive layering game that makes his fashion style seem like a daily uniform that’s also helpful for staying warm. Brands like Alpha Industries offer plenty of simple styles with wearable looks, which Nigel also incorporates into his own wardrobe.<\/p>\nTricks to Master Minimalism<\/h3>\n
