Amidst Nike Controversy, Bulked-Up Noah Lyles Drops Adidas ‘Paris Olympics’ Fit

The anticipation surrounding the Olympic year reached new heights last week as Nike finally revealed Team USA’s eagerly anticipated uniforms for the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Against a backdrop of debates and doubts, Adidas’ current top track star, Noah Lyles, also weighed in on the conversation, sharing his thoughts about the Nike Track kits. On X, an account called Beau Throws ignited an exciting conversation by sharing a series of past USA kits and asking followers to choose their favorite Olympic uniform from yesteryear.

Each option stirred memories of Olympic glory, but an unexpected twist emerged when “3 Peat” star Noah Lyles voiced a preference for the “2004 and 2012” designs, subtly snubbing the 2024 Nike outfits. Now, in the wake of the Nike controversy, Noah Lyles has made a bold statement with his Adidas ‘Paris Olympics’ fit moments after an iconic debut.
