Nike Unveils Suit for USA Track and Field Team

Nike unveiled its Turbospeed suit, the official apparel for the USA Track and Field team for the London Summer Olympics alongside ex-Oympic champions Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Carl Lewis, and Michael Johnson.

Designed for the London Olympics, Nike’s new Rocket Red track uniforms and trio of medal stand jackets seem as fit for action movie heroes as for athletes. The brand claims these uniforms are its “swiftest track apparel to date”. Nike says the suits could shave up to 0.023 seconds off 100-meter sprint times.

“It felt like the right time to go red,” explained innovation creative director for Nike, Scott Williams. “It’s very bold, and that inspiration came from talking to our athletes about what they were feeling in competition.”
