Sportswear meets streetwear, in the form of this perfectly pared-back track jacket from Nike. The all-black silhouette is offset by the iconic Nike swoosh, embroidered at the chest in a contrast white.
Tropicfeel NS40 Jacket
Tropicfeel's multifunctional NS40 Jacket fuses the protection of a raincoat, the performance of a wind breaker and the warmth of a gilet in one seamlessly integrated and stylish garment. It's weatherproof, breathable and lightweight, and boasts handy features including a roll-up hood, self-packing pocket and thermofibre insulation. Clever, huh?
Adidas Superstar Track Top
Adidas originally brought out its iconic track top in the early 1960s. Today, the legacy lives on, in the form of the new and improved Superstar Track Top. As the brand looks to the future, it's making use of sustainable recycled materials. This track jacket is therefore crafted using 60% recycled polyester, with cotton making up the rest of the construction. Of course, Adidas' signature three stripes feature down the side of each sleeve, as homage to the label's heritage.
ASKET Zip Jacket
Swedish masters of minimalism ASKET have taken a timeless approach to the track jacket, keeping things classic with their simple yet sophisticated Zip Jacket. In typical ASKET style, sustainable construction has been prioritised. The jacket is cut from a super lightweight, water repellent fabric that's made from 100% recycled nylon.
