The arrest, which also included Maduro’s wife Cilia Flores, has drawn widespread international criticism. Yet, amidst this serious political event, one striking detail caught the public’s attention: Maduro’s Nike tracksuit.

The Viral Outfit

Within hours of the arrest, a photo shared by former U.S. President Donald Trump showed Maduro in handcuffs and blindfolded, wearing a grey Nike Tech Fleece tracksuit. Social media erupted as users shared the image, generating a viral sensation. Some called it reminiscent of a Halloween costume, while others noted a surge in Google searches for the Nike Tech Fleece tracksuit.

The tracksuit, which sparked such online excitement, quickly became a sought-after item. While several platforms reported it as out of stock, the tracksuit remains available on Nike’s official website. The jacket is priced at $140 (approximately ₹12,600), and the pants at $120 (approximately ₹10,800). In India, the set is listed at ₹5,697 on Nike’s website.

Made with at least 50% sustainable materials, including recycled polyester and organic cotton fibers, the tracksuit appeals not just for style but also for eco-conscious fashion.

Accessories in Focus

In the viral photograph, Maduro also wore a Wanme sleep mask priced at $6 (around ₹540) and Flintronic anti-noise ear protectors priced at $11 (around ₹990), adding to the curiosity and attention around the image.

What was meant to be a serious geopolitical moment has, in an unusual twist, sparked discussions across the globe about fashion and viral trends, proving that even the gravest news can intersect with popular culture in unexpected ways.
