2023 Boston Marathon Celebration Jacket

When it is available it will be listed here:

I hope it's ugly like most of them are.

Is there a chance there isn't one this year? That would be nuts but it's kind of weird they haven't announced this year's design yet.

They sell them for what, $100? Probably sell at least 15,000 of them. $1.5 million minus manufacturing cost of $0.06 they pay a 9-yo in Thailand to make them = $1,499,100 in profit. Of course there will be a jacket.

$120 each, I believe.

Adidas (or BAA) really falls short in its release of upcoming Boston Marathon stuff. With registration mid Sept and an announcement on the acceptable time, you'd think a release of the 2023 BM stuff would be available for Christmas gifts. That's just plain ole Marketing 101.

I'm not a BM stuff junkie, I just pay attention to poor business practices - lost opportunities.

Back to the 2023 jacket; as long as they don't put lot of that Social Justice and DEI writing on it - it'll just fine.

Imagine celebrating a 3 hour marathon LMAO

How many do they actually sell?

I cannot believe it is 15,000.

how many volunteers get jackets? They deserve them imo but just curious how many the B.A.A. provides. it has to be much more than 15,000. I know they aren’t the same jackets as the runners.

Running Warehouse has photos of the jackets:

I love Super Mario in the men's jacket

Hideous

"Nature inspired"

Yes, because nothing says nature like 25,000+ people flying or driving in to your race to run on paved streets...

Kewl!

Does anyone know if they always do the "own the run" jacket too? I ran Boston last year, didn't buy the jacket, and kind of regretted it...and they completely sold out of my size. I don't like the huge Boston emblem on the back though and prefer the Own the Run one.

It seems like every year at the BAA expo, they sell out of everything except xxl and xxxl before the expo even starts. Does Adidas look at the size of the average marathon runner when they decide size distributions?

Congrats. You forced them to hurry and release a jacket without much design consideration

Adidas used "sustainable materials" for the race/finishers shirts at Berlin last year. Felt like wearing a cheese grater (pretty much fit like one too). But I'm sure they'll figure it out after iterating for another decade.

I followed the link but it isn't in the online store. Shouldn't it be there to buy or pre-order?
