Sizing Guide — 1977 Tracksuit
Size Down 1
Fitted oversized top + slimmer taper bottom — most popular
True to Size ✦
Full intended silhouette — max dropped shoulder, relaxed bottom
Size Up 1
For layering under outerwear — top needs room over mid-layer
Tracksuit sizing rule: Order one size for both pieces — the set proportions work best when top and bottom are the same size. The top runs intentionally oversized; the sweatpant drawstring waist adjusts. If you are between sizes, the top measurement should guide your choice.
THE 1977 TRACKSUIT — WHERE THE COLLECTION STARTED
The 1977 Tracksuit is not just a two-piece set — it is the founding piece of the entire 1977 graphic family. When Fear of God Essentials introduced the 1977 collection in SS22, the tracksuit was the centrepiece. The hoodie and sweatpants were designed together as a matched two-piece, the 1977 chest graphic and leg logo calibrated to work in proportion when worn as a complete set.
The Wood colorway from that original SS22 drop has become a collector piece. A warm brown earth tone that pre-dated the brown Essentials wave — before brown became the defining FOG FW colorway, the 1977 Tracksuit in Wood established the palette. Secondary market prices on Grailed confirm the continued demand: $282+ for the Wood set from a drop that retailed at $300–350.
Prefer a softer tone? The pink Essentials set pairs the hoodie with matching fleece sweatpants in the same dye lot.
The distinction between the 1977 Tracksuit and the later God Is Great 1977 Tracksuit matters for buyers navigating the catalog. The original 1977 Tracksuit carries the number alone — a personal designer signature without the faith statement. The God Is Great version layers the "God Is Great" text onto the 1977 reference. Both are significant pieces. The original is rarer. The decision between them is whether you want the pure birth-year signature or the fuller faith + year statement.
Frequently Asked Questions — Essentials 1977 Tracksuit
What is the Essentials 1977 Tracksuit?
The Essentials 1977 Tracksuit is a complete two-piece matched set — hoodie top and sweatpant bottom from the same dye lot, both carrying the 1977 graphic. The top features a 1977 chest graphic; the bottom has a 1977 rubberized leg logo. It debuted in SS22 as the founding piece of the 1977 graphic collection in Wood, Iron, and Dark Oatmeal colorways.
What is the difference between the 1977 Tracksuit and the God Is Great 1977 Tracksuit?
Both are two-piece matched sets with 1977 branding. The original 1977 Tracksuit (SS22) carries the birth year number alone as the graphic — a personal designer signature. The
God Is Great 1977 Tracksuit adds the "God Is Great" faith statement to the 1977 reference. The original is rarer and commands higher secondary market prices. The God Is Great version is more recent and more widely available.
What colorways does the 1977 Tracksuit come in?
The SS22/FW22 debut introduced Wood (warm brown), Iron (near-black dark neutral), and Dark Oatmeal (warm taupe). The Wood colorway is the most collected and commands the highest secondary market premiums. The Iron colorway is the most versatile and most consistently photographed.
Do I order the same size for both pieces of the 1977 Tracksuit?
Yes. The tracksuit is a matched set — order one size and both the hoodie and sweatpant will be in that size. The hoodie top runs oversized with a dropped shoulder. The sweatpant drawstring waist adjusts within each size. If choosing between sizes, let the top fit guide your decision.
Is the 1977 Tracksuit still available at retail?
The original SS22 1977 Tracksuit is no longer at retail and circulates on the secondary market through Grailed, StockX, and Poshmark at $282+ for the Wood colorway. Check this collection for current available stock. The
God Is Great 1977 Tracksuit is a more recent release with broader current availability.
