Description
A faithful revival of adidas Originals’ most iconic warm-up silhouette, reimagined for the modern wardrobe.
Rooted in the archives of adidas Originals, the SST track jacket traces its lineage back to 1972, when it was first designed as part of the Spezial collection for elite German athletes. The “SST” designation — derived from the German “Spezial, Sport, Training” — has come to represent one of the most enduring silhouettes in sportswear history. This contemporary iteration preserves the hallmark elements that made the original a legend: the unmistakable bolt-of-lightning sleeve stripes, the trefoil insignia, and the structured funnel collar that defined a generation of athletic style.
Crafted in a substantial tricot polyester fabrication, the jacket delivers a clean, athletic drape with a subtle sheen that nods to its retro performance heritage. The full-zip front is framed by a tall stand-up collar, while ribbed cuffs and hem ensure a snug, streamlined fit. Functional welt hand pockets sit discreetly at the waist, and the iconic 3-Stripes run down each sleeve in tonal contrast. Inside, a smooth satin-finish lining adds comfort and ease of layering.

Styling
Pair with classic adidas Firebird track pants in a matching tonal palette for a head-to-toe heritage sportswear look, or layer over a plain white tee with slim black jeans and low-profile sneakers for an off-duty weekend ensemble. The retro silhouette also works well thrown over a hoodie in transitional weather.
