One of the most recognisable logos on the planet, Nike’s famous Swoosh can be seen on every type of sportswear, but did you know that they started in running?

Blue Ribbon Sports, as they were originally known, began as an importer, offering Onitsuka Tiger running shoes to American athletes in the 1960s. In 1972, they created the first Nike-branded shoe, and the rest, as they say, is history.

With their gear now seen on sports stars and enthusiastic amateurs alike, today Nike continue their mission to “bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world”. And remember: if you have a body, you’re an athlete.

Their apparel ranges include the daily-run Miler series, race-ready Aeroswift clothing, and the all-day wearable Run Division collection.

Breathable fabrics use open weaves that let air pass through with ease for a cool feel. By improving airflow, breathable apparel helps to keep your body at the ideal temperature for longer, improving performance as well as comfort.

With nothing weighing you down, you feel fast and ready for anything – on race day you want the very fastest feel. Designed for performance over durability, lightweight apparel helps you achieve peak speed by giving you that free, weightless sensation as you fly through your stride.
