Maduro's Arrest Sparks Unexpected Surge in Nike Tech Fleece Sales

The arrest of Nicolás Maduro by US special forces has triggered an unexpected surge in demand for the Nike Tech fleece suits he was wearing. The photo of him in custody went viral on social media, leading to the Nike Tech fleece jacket selling out on the official Nike website in the US. Searches for 'Nike Tech' skyrocketed, and there was a massive increase in mentions and videos related to Maduro's appearance on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok. The suit's value (jacket and jogger) is approximately $260, while Maduro is known for his fondness for expensive watches and glasses, such as a Rolex Day-Date 40 worth $72,900 and Off-White glasses worth $400.
