When the designers at Nike came up with an olive-and-black colored tracksuit for its Sportswear line, they likely didn’t bet on it going viral. But after Twitter users in Mexico came across the look and instantly transported back to their middle school years, they went on social media to reminisce. The tracksuits look nearly identical to the uniforms that Mexican students wore at secundarias técnicas.

As a result, people have tweeted how the dowdy uniforms are suddenly fashionable, how Mexico did it first, and some v. funny jokes. Check out a few great reactions below and let us know in the comments if you would wear Nike’s tracksuit (fyi, the jacket is $85, and the pants are $75).
