The Medal Stand is one of the most exciting and important moments during the Olympics as the winners receive their medals they will be fitted in Nike’s NikeLab Dynamic Reveal Jacket and Pants. These jackets are pretty fly as they include ribbed sleeves with flashes of red and blue as they are in motion. Even in the heat they will feel comfortable because it includes breathable mesh on the back and side panels along with a woven front panel.

One of the more compelling displays were of Track & Field where one could tell they had the spirit of the runner in mind and got it completely right. With the idea of helping runners run faster with as few lags as possible Nike included AeroBlades on the uniforms which are those small pink dots on the sides of the shirts and tops of the runners set. Keeping everything lightweight even from the bibs to the Nike Wing sunglasses, some runners will be wearing customized AeroDynamic tape as seen above.
