Eliud Kipchoge's records in the Nike Running capsule collection A tribute to the exploits of the man who changed the world of athletics forever

Nike Running has been alongside Eliud Kipchoge during all his exploits, including the first and only marathon which ended in 1h59:40. And she is now ready to honor the career of the 36-year-old Kenyan with a capsule collection consisting of unreleased items and great returns. Together with a running shirt, a tank top and a windbreaker, both the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% and the heroic Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 are back. Each garment has the runner's initials and the unimaginable time with which he concluded the Vienna marathon in 2019, with nuances that trace the origins of Kipchoge. The red, green and black of the Kenyan flag were the inspiration for the Swoosh designers.

Two Air Zoom models are also part of the capsule, the Alphafly NEXT% and the Pegasus 37. The two versions were launched on the market last October, on the occasion of the London marathon - won for the fourth time by the Kenyan. Both performance shoes are a mash-up of Nike's best technologies: the white Atomkint upper, the Zoom Air discs on the forefoot and a carbon fiber that runs along the entire foam midsole of the ZoomX.

The relationship between Eliud and Nike has always been strong and its peak may have been reached on May 6, 2017, when "Breaking2" was organized, the event organized by the American brand at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza to try to break down that wall which was broken only two years later at the Vienna Prater.
