Iconic aren't they?
So lets see em.
A bit of history:
The Windrunner
The 26-degree chevron gives it away: you've seen it before. The ultimate running jacket, the
Windrunner became the face of Nike apparel at a time when Nike was known for its footwear.
The '84 games offered the perfect opportunity to demonstrate how technologically advanced
sporting equipment enhanced performance from head to toe; with 58 Nike supported athletes
taking home 65 medals. The Windrunner is perhaps Nike's most recognizable piece of apparel
from that important era. Designed as a running jacket, its nylon construction meant lightweight
wear. But the Windrunner quickly transcended its athletic identity thanks to early hip-hop
culture, which made it its own. Re-mastered for today, the lightweight shell is even lighter, built
from super-breathable nylon and equipped with No Sew pocket construction and an updated
hood that forgoes a hood adjuster for a clean finish. The jacket also features an ultra-modern
ear bud cord exit eyelet, subtle yet functional.
