Nissan and Marc Ecko revealed what happens when two of the most design-forward companies in the automotive and fashion industries unite.
At a VIP event held at New York's Splashlight Studios, Nissan and Marc Ecko showcased the results of their recently announced partnership – the Nissan Pathfinder and the Nissan Armada customized by Marc Ecko, and the Nissan-inspired line of apparel and accessories from the ecko unltd and Marc Ecko Cut & Sew collections.
“Nissan and Marc Ecko are two brands known for bold, forward-thinking design,” said Jan Thompson, vice president of marketing for Nissan North America. “The new customized vehicles and clothing line emerging from this collaboration are the perfect extension of the quality and affinity for street culture inherent to both brands.”
The Nissan Pathfinder customized by Marc Ecko is inspired by ecko unltd's street-smart swagger. It takes a vehicle that loves to get a little dirty and gives it an “old school” twist with smoothed wheel wells, a modified grille and a custom black and grey camouflage paint job. The interior includes seamless black leather, molded wood backs and a glossy, safety orange center console.
The Nissan Armada customized by Marc Ecko follows Cut & Sew's sophisticated designs, retaining the muscularity of the vehicle's original look while adding an edge. The exterior features a cream Landau roof, laser etched rims and safety orange side panels. The interior offers sophisticated touches like the use of premium cream and tan calfskin leathers with heavy-contrast stitching.
