Running is having an unprecedented moment in culture – or so it seems. Not long ago, we briefly investigated the trend that is swapping dating apps for running clubs. Before that, running shoes and brands specialized in the sport had obviously encroached on mainstream everyday attire, too, though there now appears to be an increased interest in not just looking like one, but actually becoming a runner.

With the 2024 Paris Olympics right at our door step, timing could not be better for such a pursuit. Why? Well, because it gives you the opportunity to deck yourself out in what NIKE Olympians will compete in for Gold.

Beginner, advanced, or full-on marathon veteran; on treadmills, stadium tracks, or outdoor trails: NIKE's 'Blueprint' performance gear is sure to send you charging across pavements, parks, or prairies.

The Pegasus is arguably the most classic running shoe to choose from this lineup. It's improved, 41st iteration has rich history in regards to the discipline, and can therefore be considered a more than trustworthy pick.

The Alphafly belongs to a family of so-called road racing footwear, and is thus ideal for anyone looking to either up or kickstart their marathon game. Athletic urbanites swear by its breathable mesh fabric and thick foam sole.

The Maxfly 2s are only for those of you looking to pull a Sha'Carri Richardson. Do not – I repeat, DO NOT – wear these for your morning jog. If you're truly aspiring to compete in sprinting events though, these'll lend you jet-like speed. See you at the LA Olympics 2028 then, huh?
