Adidas launches the VRCT varsity-style jacket

Adidas recently launched the VRCT jacket, to celebrate individuality and self-expression. Worn by some of the world’s best athletes, the sportswear giant has used some of its most popular stars to promote the new launch, such as heptathlete Swapna Barman, squash player Dipika Pallikal, boxer Simranjit Kaur and sprinter Hima Das. The jacket was unveiled at a special event in Delhi, where Swapna, Dipika and Simranjit spoke about their journey as athletes.
