lululemon Unveils the Team Canada Kits for Paris 2024
Today, beloved Canadian athletic brand lululemon unveiled the Team Canada kits for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The slick and stylish silhouettes are characterized by innovative performance-driven materials and cuts that prioritize breathability and comfort, as well as a distinctly bold appreciation of national pride.
Designed with insights from 19 Olympic and Paralympic athletes across 14 sports, the Team Canada kits are poised to meet the diverse needs of athletes. The pieces are adaptable and thermal regulating, recognizing the needs of athletes in different environments—the Packable Rain Poncho and the Vented Jacquard Bomber Jacket are great examples of this
The Opening Ceremony outfit features a unique print inspired by Canada's art, architecture, and nature. The Podium kit, on the other hand, offers personalization by allowing the athletes to layer up or down as needed, with convertible options for both the jacket and pants. The Media Team Canada kit introduces a softer feel with nature-inspired prints and breathable materials while the Closing Ceremony design, created in collaboration with artist Mason Mashon, captures the essence of the northern lights.
lululemon's Team Canda kit is strengthened by the Future Legacy program. Select products, inspired by Team Canada, will be made available to the public, with 10% of proceeds supporting Canadian athletes access resources, equipment, and funding.
