A Local Legend
At Portland Gear, we believe in celebrating the essence of our city and the incredible individuals who embody the spirit of Portland. That's why we're thrilled to introduce our newest collection, featuring two-time Olympic Decathlon gold medalist and Portland native, Ashton Eaton - dropping this weekend (July 26th on the PG app).
Who is Ashton Eaton?
Ashton Eaton's remarkable journey from Portland to the pinnacle of Olympic glory is a story that inspires us all.
Born on January 21, 1988, Ashton has shattered records and pushed the boundaries of what it means to be a decathlete. As a two-time Olympic champion, he holds the world record in the indoor heptathlon and was the second decathlete in history to break the 9,000-point barrier—an achievement he accomplished twice.
A Collection to Honor Excellence
In celebration of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, we have crafted a collection that not only celebrates Ashton's incredible achievements but also honors his deep connection to our beloved city.
The collection features an all-new track jacket, the "SCREAM" tee with Ashton's celebratory face on it, an A-frame cap, as well as two basketball jerseys.
Why Ashton Eaton?
We've always been inspired by the unwavering pride that Portlanders have, and how infectious the love for the Rose City really is. This same pride is reflected in Ashton's journey.
From competing for the Oregon Track Club Elite team and the University of Oregon, Ashton has always carried the spirit of Portland with him. His dedication, resilience, and world-class performance make him the perfect ambassador for this collection and our city
