They're based.

There's a nigger above me

Because if you put the words "Adidas" and "slav" together, it's an anagram for "salad divas"

I dont think I need to explain the rest to you

because the design never changes so you could have a tracksuit from 5 years ago it it looks the same as new ones

Adidas sponsored the communist Russian Olympics teams back in the 80s so it became a trend that never died

The USSR's centrally planned economy prioritized heavy industry (particularly anything military-related) above all, so factories responsible for making consumer goods were far lower down the proverbial food chain when it came to resources. This coupled with the lack of supply and demand led to frequent shortages of damn near every item imaginable, most notably clothing and footwear.
As a result, everyone wore the same generic "better than nothing" stuff, often in completely wrong sizes. High-quality sportswear in particular was practically unheard of.

To make matters worse, average people in the Soviet Union had little to no contact with the outside world, which led to a HUGE fascination with stuff from the "other side". Even really mundane items like plastic bags and ball-point pens were practically seen as magical artifacts because nothing comparable was available in the USSR. Getting your hands on anything from the fabled outside world required good connections (you either knew someone who knew someone whose job actually enabled them to go abroad and bring something back, or you were lucky enough to have a relative living in the West who could send you things in the mail) and/or sizable amounts of money, so anyone who actually managed to pull it off instantly became the envy of their peers. If you saw a guy walking down the street in a tracksuit, you immediately knew he was the fucking man and could make things happen.

When the USSR collapsed, the market was flooded with hand-me-downs from the West and people ate that shit right up. However, the tracksuit's association with success and status still lingered on in public consciousness, so it became the go-to outit for petty criminals who wanted to LARP as bigshots.

TL;DR: The fascination with tracksuits is just a throwback to an era when they were considered a symbol of unobtainable Western excess
