Fashion experts are predicting a tremendous leap in sales on two Nike products marketed for this spring in the Korean market after Kim Yu Na was spotted at the Incheon International Airport wearing the Nike-inspired sporty outfit on her flight bound to Toronto last Wednesday (March 3).

Queen YuNa left for Toronto after a brief stay in South Korea to celebrate the strong 5th place finish of the Korean delegation during the recently concluded Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. Yu Na was accompanied by her coach, Brian Orser for her flight back to Canada. She will be training in Toronto in preparation for the 2010 World Figure Skating Championships which will be held in Turin, Italy on March 27 to 29.

Yu Na attended a press conference in Incheon airport and spoke about her plans to join more competitions in the future. But what stands out during the said conference last Wednesday was – Yu Na’s outfit – which she specifically wore for the press event. Yu Na appeared before the reporters and a packed crowd of well-wishers wearing a sporty outfit consisting of a Nike N98 Track Jacket ‘custom made’ called ‘Golden Moments’, black Nike sports pants, and a Nike Women’s Air Max 90 White-Black-Red Plum combination (model no. 325213-117). She was also pictured during the occasion carrying a trendy sports bag.

The Yu Na ‘airport outfit’ created such a buzz on Korean net portals just hours after the conference ended as thousands of Korean netizens began scourging the internet for information on these new ‘Yu Na wear’. There are reports coming from various Korean online stores that orders for the Nike N98 Track Jackets skyrocketed after Kim Yu Na was pictured wearing one last Wenesday. The Nike Air Max 90 models, which Yu Na also wore on her Toronto flight, also became a huge seller here in Korea this week. And if this trend continues, fashion experts around Korea are predicting more big  sales for Nike here in the peninsula when  spring season shifts into high gear starting next week.
