How was Nike involved? They didn't exist until ~ the 70s I thought.

You presumably mean that Hugo Boss ‘designed the SS uniform’ — which he didn't, as he wasn't a designer and the company wasn't in fashion design until after his death. The uniform was designed by two dudes in the SS, and Hugo Boss' company was one of many manufacturers contracted for production.

Hugo Boss was a member of the Nazi party, though.

Ah, that one makes sense.
