More things for your closet: Another day, another sneaker collaboration. Nike has co-opted Maharam, the leading supplier of textiles for architects and interior designers, for a line of restrained opulence. The USD 250 sneaks are made in the underused fabric, horsehair. Horsehair is clipped painlessly from the horse’s tail, then woven on arcane Victorian-era looms, and costs a fortune. The Nike x Maharam collection features three classic weaves — basket, check, and striae — on two of Nike’s easily recognizable sneaker silhouettes, the high-top Blazer and the low-top Oregon Waffle.
