1-of-1 Nike Country Plate Buckle Belt - Size M (2003)
back again with another one of these beautiful pieces from nike sportswear! these western-style belts were produced in low quantities as an ode to the american northwestern countryside that helped foster the brand's wild & pioneering identity. the word "OREGON" is tooled in a bold, old-timey typeface between ornate depictions of mt. hood and cannon beach, similar to the way the city of beaverton is nestled between the two on the map, just south of the hood river.
my only critique of these belts was one thing: the lack of additional colors. so i dyed, enameled, and buffed this one to a black semigloss finish to for a dressier, edgier look. will i do this again if i come across another belt like this? i don't know. but this piece is completely unique!
