Eugene Track Jacket

Other than its official motto, The World’s Greatest City of the Arts and Outdoors, the city of Eugene, Oregon goes by many nicknames, including Track City, USA - a very fitting title for this city of less than 200,000. It is home to the University of Oregon, which gave rise to track & field stars such as the late Steve Prefontaine and Alberto Salazar. It is also the birth place of Nike. To little surprise one of the pillars to Nike athletic apparel shared the same name. Though many have tried to replicate it in the past, no one has duplicate the Nike Eugene track jacket’s functionality. In this latest version of the timeless classic, soften polyester made up the exterior, the interior lined with cotton fleece. In all, gave the wearer a sense familiarity and comfort, like his/her favorite article of clothes. Still, it is a performance wear. Similar to its counterpart, the Windrunner, the familiar chevron was applied, plus double rib trim collar, cuffs, and waist band to keep out the elements. The residents of Eugene would be proud.
