The clothing manufacturer revealed their uniforms at Studio 45 in New York City and claimed their design showcases a contemporary athletic, fitted silhouette and vivid interpretation of Team USA’s colours.

“Stepping onto the podium is a singular moment preceded by countless hours of dedication and hard work,” said Martin Lotti, Nike global brand experience vice-president.

“We wanted the medal-stand uniform for 2016 to be a reflection of that dedication.

“With 15 months of prototyping to create this bespoke and hand-crafted look grounded in our best innovation, athletes will look and feel their best as they celebrate this incredible achievement."

Designers have named the uniform the Dynamic Reveal Jacket and Pants, with the trousers set to be only available for the members of the United States’ Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The jackets, however, can be bought by fans online.

Nike also claim that the uniform allows comfort and mobility, while stating that it will flash red when the athlete shifts or bends.

“Team USA” has been woven directly into the back of the jacket.

“The medal-stand uniforms for the 2016 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams epitomize Nike’s unmatched innovation,” said Lisa Baird, USOC chief marketing officer.

“Nike has perfectly blended strength, style and patriotism.

“When America’s finest athletes are standing proudly on top of the podium, they will represent all Americans with a sense of style and poise.”

 American athletes will also wear Nike Free footwear, along with the podium kit during the course of the Games.
