The 2020 Nike and Stussy collection landed in July of that year and paired reissued running silhouettes (the Air Zoom Spiridon and the Air Zoom Kukini among them) with a small apparel run.
The Windrunner anchored the clothing. Nike's own jacket is one of the few garments in its archive people recognise from the panelling alone: a chevron across the chest, a nylon shell, a design that has been in the line for decades. Stussy changed two things. The full-length zip became a half zip, which turns it into a pullover and changes how it sits on the body, and the finished garments were dyed rather than cut from pre-dyed fabric, so the colour settles unevenly across seams and panels.
Off Noir is the washed black colourway from that run. Out of the bag it already looks like a jacket that has been worn for a season, which was more or less the point: a piece designed to skip the part where you break it in.
