NIKE ISPA's latest poncho can morph into a sunshade or tent

A poncho, tent or both with NIKE ISPA’s metamorph release

NIKE ISPA introduces the Metamorph Poncho, its new fashion design that transforms into a sunshade or camping tent within seconds. It has a large vent or pocket behind the poncho, which stores collapsible poles used to set up the sunshade. This part also doubles as the bag to carry the sizable cloak, so the user can bring it anywhere they go. The Metamorph Poncho is made of water-repellent material, letting raindrops slide down the fabric.

NIKE ISPA’s team combined multiple thin layers of select fibers so that users can wear the Metamorph Poncho and sunshade year-round. It is lightweight enough to be carried around wherever they want to bring it and can keep the user warm or cool (perhaps with the exception of extreme weather conditions). The Metamorph Poncho is made with at least 75 percent recycled fibers and is relaxed enough to fit various body sizes.

NIKE ISPA’s team reassures users that they shouldn’t worry if they’re unsure how to set up the sunshade or camping tent since instructions are included. Although the product description states that it’s made of 100 percent cotton, the material’s appearance, as stated on the ‘how it was made’ page of the Metamorph Poncho, resembles nylon, a material that NIKE repurposes to align with its recycling mission.

The company also recycles carpet and uses fishnets, and the nylon they employ is converted into flakes before undergoing chemical or mechanical recycling processes to create new, recycled nylon yarns. As of publishing the story, NIKE ISPA’s Metamorph Poncho is available online for 600 USD. This multifunctional cloak is released alongside its sibling, the NIKE ISPA Metamorph Jacket, which transforms into a year-round vest in seconds, complete with side and back pockets.
