Nike Eugene Store “Nike Only” T-Shirt | Size L

Offered in this lot is an original, yellow Nike Eugene Store T-shirt. Likely in reference to the store’s product selection, the shirt reads: “Nike Eugene the only ‘Nike only’ store”. This selection varied from Blue Ribbon Sport’s Athletic Department Stores which sold an array of products, including Onitsuka Tigers. 

The tag at the neckline features the Nike Sunburst logo, which is consistent with Nike T-shirts produced in the late 70s and early 1980s.
