Nike Jackets
Leading an active lifestyle in the cold season is simply impossible without high-quality outerwear. Nike jackets take pride of place on the pedestal of in-demand sportswear.
The products of this brand are distinguished by unique characteristics, as evidenced by the positive feedback from a large number of consumers. But how does a company founded by ordinary athletes from America manage to maintain a brand in the market for more than 50 years?
About the brand
Nike began its existence in 1964 and initially positioned itself exclusively in the production of sneakers. For a long 15 years, manufacturers have been improving their products, endowing them with a unique corrugated sole, which significantly reduces the weight of the shoe, or with an air cushion that has not been seen before, which improves cushioning properties. Brilliant ideas in the minds of designers came spontaneously, but always delighted consumers.
Nike's clothing era began in 1978 with the chic Windrunner windbreaker. According to rumors, this jacket was sewn by the company's designers by analogy with cedar raincoats, which were made by Pacific natives. They got the idea from the ancient Indians, who sew clothes using the unique raglan technology that protects from the wind.
The production technology has been improved to such an extent that the Windrunner jacket now weighs just over 110 grams.The material for production is heavy-duty Japanese fiber. It is very soft and stitched with the thinnest wires, which gives the jacket even greater strength.
The modern range of Nike jackets has expanded to an unprecedented scale, which is good news. True, consumers also have to face the problems arising from brand promotion.
Advantages and disadvantages
Among the numerous advantages of Nike jackets are the following:
- They can be tailored to the individual needs of the buyer. For lovers of winter sports, ski and snowboard jackets are provided, which look great in combination with everyday items of clothing. To protect against the cold, you can choose elongated jackets with insulation, and as a windbreaker, use shortened models with a lining. Nike's consumer contingent has no gender or age.
- Each jacket model is produced using innovative technologies, therefore, regardless of the degree of insulation, jackets are incredibly light and do not hinder movement.
- The combination of fleece and polyester makes the jackets wind and waterproof, just like the symbiosis of genuine leather and fur.
- Wear-resistant properties of jackets deserve special attention. They are made from durable dirt-repellent materials that are very easy to care for.
- Thanks to a well-thought-out system of breathability, Nike jackets keep the body warm in any weather. The greenhouse effect is not created because excess moisture is brought to the surface through small holes in fasteners and zippers.
- A huge selection of colors and styles does not leave indifferent both lovers of timeless classics and admirers of original novelties.
There are only two drawbacks to Nike jackets:
- High cost.The only way to save at least a little on the purchase of a branded jacket is to use promotional codes for a discount on company products. The company also periodically holds promotions and sales - the main thing is not to miss the right moment.
- Nike tops the list of most counterfeited brands. The probability of buying a jacket that looks very similar to the original, but is much inferior to it in quality is very high.
You can protect yourself from fakes only by studying the features of the models of the original jackets.
