The Streets Stay in Tech: Cee Valentina Unpacks Nike Tech Fleece Culture
Nike Tech tracksuits aren’t just a wave—they’re a whole era, and UK journalist Cee Valentina just gave it the documentary treatment we didn’t know we needed.
In a new 23-minute episode of The CEE TV Podcast, Valentina takes us on a deep-dive journey through the history, culture, and global takeover of the Nike Tech Fleece—arguably the most iconic streetwear uniform of the last decade.
From its 2013 launch to its place in NBA tunnels, American rap videos, and UK council estates, the doc dissects every layer. She even tackles Central Cee’s viral claim that “he put man on” to the trend, which had U.S. fans crying cap but UK heads nodding in agreement.
“The documentation of Black British culture and the British streetwear scene is super important to me,” Valentina says. And it shows.
From the grime era’s tracksuit & TN combos to the drill scene’s sleek, monochrome uniformity, the piece doesn’t just talk drip—it connects it to identity, class, music, and movement.
This is more than a fashion flick. It’s a cultural archive.
Watch the full video now—and if you’ve ever flexed a Tech, consider this your history lesson. 🖤
