Adidas Soviet Jacket Vintage 1989 Extremely Rare

This is an original and very rare 1989 Adidas Soviet "Progression in Sports Activity" jacket in size XL (see measurements in pics). During this period, Adidas created a special line of Soviet sportswear that included a limited edition crewneck, jogging pants, and this zipper jacket. During the Cold War, Adidas was a cultural icon for Soviet and post-Soviet Russia, a sentiment traced back to the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games-boycotted by the US and 64 other countries-when Adidas designed the uniforms for Soviet athletes. Interestingly, this jacket was produced two years before the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The jacket is a punch of color with embroidered Russian lettering, the cog, hammer and sickle symbols on the back, and similar graphics on the red interior.

The jacket is soft and comfortable.
