For Nike, outerwear is nearly as big a deal as sneakers. It doesn't make sense to have next-level shoes and basic jackets, does it? Yet, it's a relatively lo-fi jacket that's captured the hearts of many a young shopper, and Nike is moving to capitalize.
I'm speaking of the Big Swoosh Fleece — or "boa" — jacket, of course, and it's finally returning in its original form for Fall/Winter 2022.
It oughta go without saying that anything with an oversized Nike logo is as hot as anything with, well, a tiny Swoosh. For some reason, these larger-than-life logos become extra desirable when they're toyed with, as if recognizable branding becomes more desirable when slightly abstracted.
Perhaps that's why the Big Swoosh Fleece jacket is so covetable, because it wraps a giant version of Nike's unmistakable checkmark around the wearer's torso, from front to back.
Or maybe the Big Swoosh Fleece is just a hot ticket because it's fleece and everyone loves a fleece. Doesn't hurt that the jacket is also reversible, too.
