US athletes who hit the medal stand in London this summer will light up the night. Aided by artist Marcus Gaab (a German-born photographer with an eye for the sensational), Nike has unveiled the official podium jacket of the 2012 Games, the 21st C. Windrunner V. The jacket is modeled after the classic Nike sportswear staple Windrunner and is finished with a hyper reflective shell. A laser applied "United States Of America" features on the jacket back, and a badge on the inside of the jacket (over the heart) reads "Team USA." The back of the piece is perforated 50 times to represent each state.

Bold design engineered to allow true stars to shine.
