As it was explained to me, how the track suit style came into fashion with former comblocs was interesting.
Basically the families of soldiers serving in Afghanistan would send track suits as gifts so the soldiers could wear comfortable leisure clothes during downtime. They liked the style and continued to wear them through the collapse of the Soviet Union.
That is an interesting insight. I also read that; The obsession with Adidas originates with 1980 Moscow Olympics. Sportswear for the Soviet team was manufactured by the German company Adidas.
that would fit your theory's timeline.
