🔥N8IVE Apparel — Iwi Jerseys

More than a jersey — this is whakapapa elevated.

Our Iwi Jerseys are designed for those who carry their identity with quiet confidence. Whether you’re representing your own iwi or wearing one in acknowledgement and support, this piece is about heritage, respect, and refinement.

A statement that doesn’t need to shout.

🌀 The Design
Each jersey features Māori-inspired patterning, reimagined through a clean, modern lens. Every line is intentional — reflecting iwi, unity, and connection with balance and restraint. The silhouette remains consistent across the collection, allowing the story to speak through design rather than excess.

Timeless. Purposeful. Considered.

👕 The Fabric & Fit
Constructed from premium 100% polyester tricot mesh, chosen for its breathability, structure, and performance. Lightweight yet substantial, it moves with you while maintaining a polished finish.
Designed with a regular unisex fit and ribbed trims to ensure comfort, durability, and form.

⚙️ The Details
Premium all-over print with exceptional clarity
Heavyweight mesh for a refined, authentic feel
OEKO-TEX® certified fabric (responsibly produced)

Each jersey is individually made, making every piece subtly unique.
(Note: Minimal white reveal along ribbed edges may occur when stretched — a natural characteristic of this premium print method.)

⚡ The Kaupapa
This collection is rooted in whakapapa, whenua, and mana.
It is about knowing where you come from and carrying that knowledge with dignity.
Worn with intention. Worn with pride. Worn well.

This is N8IVE.

✧ Care & Longevity
Each N8IVE Iwi Jersey is crafted to be worn often and kept for the long haul. With the right care, it will hold its shape, colour, and quality over time.

🌿 Made With Care
Every jersey is produced on demand, created specifically for you once your order is placed. We work with trusted international manufacturing partners to uphold quality and reduce unnecessary waste. As a result, production and delivery times may be longer than off-the-shelf garments — we ask that you allow for this when ordering.

Considered design.
Responsible production.
Taonga made to last.
