Nike Sochi Collection: Olympic-Inspired Fashion for Kids
I've been seeing stars all week as I countdown to the XXII Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, and I'm excited for the preliminaries to start today! Tomorrow, Team U.S.A. will be wearing the sold-out Opening Ceremony cardigan by Ralph Lauren, but Nike has also created the Sochi Collection for the U.S.A. Medal Stand, designed to reflect the country's confidence in victory.
For the London 2012 Summer Olympics, Nike outfitted Team U.S.A. for the medal stand, with many athletes choosing their Volt Neon Shoe Collection, sparking a trend for neon yellow sneakers. I'm hoping to see more of Nike's Sochi Collection as Team U.S.A. takes the gold in the cold!
More fashion trends will emerge from the Olympics thanks to Nike. One standout piece I’ve got my eye on is the Aeroloft 800 Summit Jacket, with its cool silver puffer design and advanced insulation. While it's not available in kids' sizes, I’ve found some cool silver puffer jacket options for your little ones. Another trend is the Lunar Flyknit Chukka in black with a neon yellow sole.
I’ve rounded up some gold medal-worthy sweatshirts, sweatpants, leggings, t-shirts, sneakers, and accessories from Nike’s collection for your future Olympian.
