If you have searched for a black ASICS tracksuit you were probably looking for one product. There are actually six ways to end up with one, and they range from £54.99 to £174.99 depending on how much of it you want.
Black is the biggest seller in the ASICS tracksuit collection by a wide margin, and for good reason. It does not date, it hides wear, and it goes with every trainer in the range. But "black ASICS tracksuit" covers a two-piece, a three-piece, a jacket on its own and several combinations in between.
This is every route, with prices, so you can pick the one that matches what you actually need rather than the first one that comes up.
Every way to buy it
| What you want | Buy this | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Jacket only | Black Core Windrunner | £89.99 |
| Pant only | Black Core Woven Pant | £54.99 |
| Jacket + pant | Black Core Tracksuit | £149.99 |
| Jacket + shorts | Black Core Windrunner Set | £129.99 |
| Jacket + tee + shorts | Black Core Windrunner Tri-Set | £164.99 |
| Jacket + tee + pant | Black Core Tracksuit Tri-Set | £174.99 |
| Tee + shorts, no jacket | Black Core T-Shirt Set | £74.99 |
Seven, if we are being precise. All the same fabric, all the same black, all designed to match.
The one most people should buy
The Black Core Tracksuit Tri-Set at £174.99. Jacket, tee and woven pant.
The reasoning is boring and it holds up. The three pieces as separates come to £179.97, so the tri-set is cheaper. You get a complete outfit with nothing left to match. And because it is all black, every piece also works independently with things you already own, which is not true of a bolder colourway.
If £174.99 is more than you want to spend, the two-piece tracksuit at £149.99 is the same jacket and pant without the tee. You almost certainly own a black tee already.
When to buy the jacket alone
The Core Windrunner at £89.99 is the piece that does the most work on its own. It is 100% polyester, water-repellent, with reflective branding. It goes over jeans, over shorts, over a hoodie. If you own black joggers you like, there is no reason to buy more joggers.
This is also the right choice if you want a black jacket but a coloured bottom half. Plenty of people pair the black windrunner with a brighter set, and there is a full guide to that in the Core Windrunner guide.
When to buy the pant alone
The Core Woven Pant at £54.99 is the cheapest entry to the black range and the most useful single piece if you already have outerwear. Elasticated waist with a drawcord, straight taper, sits cleanly on a trainer.
We would point out that at £54.99 this is the piece people most often come back for after buying a t-shirt set. If you suspect that is you, consider the tracksuit now. Our woven pants guide covers how they wear over time.
Black versus the colourways
We are not going to tell you black is the only option. The t-shirt sets come in a proper spread, including Maroon, Vital Green and Cream, all at £74.99. The full sets collection has the lot, and we have ranked them in ASICS set colourways ranked.
But the full tracksuit, the jacket and long pant format, is a black proposition. If you want a tracksuit rather than a set, black is what there is.
The honest case for black: it is the one you will wear most. The honest case against: everyone else has it too, and black polyester shows every bit of lint and dog hair. Both of those are true.
What to wear it with
Trainers first. All three Gel models work, and a black tracksuit is the easiest thing in the world to put a white or cream trainer against.
- Gel-Kayano 14 'White Ivory' at £189.99, the safest pairing and the roomiest fit
- GEL-1130 'White Silver' at £149.99, cleaner and lower profile
- GEL-NYC 'Cream White' at £189.99, the chunkiest of the three
The GEL-1130 and GEL-NYC both run snug, so half a size up is the safer call. The Gel-Kayano 14 is true to size. Sizing on the clothing itself does not change: the Core range is true to size, and you only size up on the jacket if you want a hoodie underneath.
There is more on pairing in what to wear with an ASICS tracksuit and Gel trainers with sets.
Buying order if you want all of it
If you are building the black range over time rather than in one go, this order causes the least regret.
- Tracksuit or tri-set first. It covers the most weather and the most occasions.
- Trainers second. They change the look more than another garment will.
- A t-shirt set third, for summer, in a colour rather than black.
- Spare tee or Core Vest at £34.99 last.
Orders over £100 ship free in the UK, and anything before 2PM goes out the same day. Klarna and Clearpay are at checkout. Worth noting that the tracksuit, both tri-sets and the Windrunner Set all clear £100 on their own.
