Nike has unveiled its "NikeLab Running" collection, which blends performance running with design and style suited to everyday wear, with a simultaneous global launch set for October 1, 2026, through nike.com and participating retail stores. The first seasonal collection includes tops, pants, and outerwear for both women and men. The women's collection uses wool-blend fabrics, along with shorts, leggings, a vest, and outerwear, while the men's collection features lightweight woven jackets and pants. Each piece's design draws on data from the Nike Sport Research Lab (NSRL) to position materials according to how the body functions, such as adding ventilation at points that generate high heat during a run. Sarah Gardner, Nike's Global Director of Women's Running Apparel, said the challenge of this collection covers every activity around a run, from travel and weather to adding or removing layers throughout the day. NikeLab Running is also part of Nike's approach to experimenting with new concepts for running, drawing on insights from long-distance runners, coaches, and the Nike Swoosh TC network.
