American apparel brand Nike has teamed with the League of Legends Pro League (LPL) introducing esports-themed footwear and clothing. The news comes right before the 2020 League of Legends Global Finals taking place in Shanghai. Nike’s newly designed clothing will represent all four teams scheduled to face off against each other in the coming weeks.

Nike dedicated its exclusive launch to showcasing LPL pride. The items bring in bright hues, colorful designs, and comfortable threads. Most notably, Nike also designed new team uniforms for every player to wear in the global finals. This isn’t the first time Nike has teamed with Riot Games for esports-themed clothing. Last year, Nike unveiled LPL Team Kits ahead of the 2019 World Championship.
