Nike's New Kit is Pretty!



DELIVERS STYLE AND PERFORMANCE
Just in time for the spring race season, Nike introduces a collection to suit all types of runners - whether they're seeking a new personal best or a fresh look to complement their morning run.

NIKE SPHERE: WARMTH WITHOUT WEIGHT
Runners going out for springtime runs need to be prepared for all sorts of weather. They want to stay warm without taking on heavy, bulky layers. Runners can keep both comfortable and stylish in apparel featuring Nike Sphere technology, which provides warmth without the weight. The innovative fabric uses a 3-D structure to create space between the body and the garment, where air can be held and warmed by the body’s own natural heat. The fabric’s structure also allows moisture to escape, helping to maintain excellent breathability. The Nike Running Spring 2013 Collection offers three silhouettes featuring Nike Sphere technology for women:

NIKE SPHERE BOMBER JACKET
Keep the wind out with the sleekly fitted Nike Sphere Bomber Jacket. The full-zip jacket is water repellent, wind resistant and extremely light, so it won’t weigh runners down. The lightweight taffeta fabric features a Nike Sphere and Dri-FIT mesh zoned lining to help keep runners at their optimal temperature. The sleeve cuffs pull down over the hands for extra warmth.

NIKE SPHERE HALF-ZIP
Combining the warmth and breathability of Nike Sphere technology, the Nike Sphere Half-Zip’s fabrication offers a soft feel against the skin and a stylish design. The collar has an asymmetrical half-zip that exposes a loose fit gusset for added warmth and a unique look. Sleeve cuffs can be pulled over the hands for extra warmth and thumbholes hold them in place, helping to keep hands warm and cozy over the miles.

NIKE SPHERE FULL-ZIP
The Nike Sphere Full-Zip's runner-specific hood with drawcord provides added protection from the elements, while a full zipper means the jacket is easy on and off and allows for personalized ventilation. The hoody’s fabrication provides excellent breathability and a soft feel against the skin, and Nike Sphere stars for insulated, lightweight warmth. The fitted design is flattering to the body’s natural curves and adds to the jacket’s high style and function.

BOTTOMS: FIT TO PERFORM
In cold weather it’s important to keep the body warm from top to bottom. Whether runners prefer a long tight or capris, the Nike Running Spring 2013 Collection mixes things up with fun prints and designs – all fit to perform.

NIKE TECH TIGHT
A classic member of the Nike Running family, the Tech Tight works just as well on its own or as a layer. Nike Dri-FIT fabric helps keep runners warm, dry and comfortable during their most intense cold weather workouts, while back-of-the-knee mesh delivers further ventilation at just the right spot. Ankle zippers make the tights easy on and off, and flat seams add to the smooth look and comfort. The back zipper pocket uses a vapor barrier for dry storage, while hits of reflectivity help keep runners visible in the dark.

NIKE ENGINEERED PRINT TIGHT
Stand out from the pack in these striking running tights highlighted with dramatic, diagonal stripes. The Nike Engineered Print Tight helps runners in all kinds of weather stay visible, and Nike Dri-FIT fabric will help to keep them warm, dry and comfortable. A zippered back pocket with sweat barrier secures small items, while flat seam construction adds to the comfortable feel.

NIKE RELAY CAPRI
A versatile, youthful, shorter running tight, the Nike Relay Capri offers a great combo of innovation and style. Nike Dri-FIT fabric helps runners stay dry by pulling sweat away from the skin to the surface of the garment, where it can evaporate quickly. Ergonomic seaming with flat-seam construction maps the natural contours of the body for reduced areas of irritation, optimal range of motion and a flattering fit. A zipper pocket provides secure small item storage and reflective elements help keep runners visible, and the jacquard "Just Do It" printed elastic on waistband lends an iconic look.

NIKE RELAY PRINT CAPRI
The all-over screen print gives the Nike Relay Print Capri a bold look and is ideal for layering or wearing on its own. The Nike Dri-FIT fabric pulls sweat away from the skin to the surface of the garment, where it evaporates quickly. The "Just Do It" on the elastic waistband adds a special design detail and a strong pop of color. A tight fit, enhanced by spandex, reduces areas of irritation and adds support. A back zipper pocket provides secure storage for a small media player or other small items while on the run.

TOPS: BUILT FOR LAYERING
One of the keys to running in unpredictable weather is layering tops that can help keep runners dry and warm. Nike Running’s Spring 2013 long-sleeved options have a soft touch on the skin and offer comfort and performance for a seamless, no-distraction run.

NIKE DRI-FIT KNIT LONG-SLEEVE
Ultra-soft Nike Dri-FIT fabric makes this an ideal top for running, either on its own or as a layer. Engineered design enhances range of motion, and the fabric provides lightweight cooling and breathability. The seamless knit construction offers a soft, comfortable feel, while the Dri-FIT material wicks sweat away from the skin. Worn solo, the top's reflective elements help keep runners visible, and the material has a soft heather effect for a fashionable look.

NIKE SOFT HAND HOODY
Find cozy, lightweight warmth even on drizzly, cool days with the Nike Soft Hand Hoody. A brushed Nike Dri-FIT fabric of a polyester-cotton blend helps keep runners dry and comfortable and feels great to the touch. The hood and long sleeves with thumbholes offer additional options for warmth – the hands can be covered with pullover mitts as well. A zippered pocket helps keep small items secure in this feminine silhouette with a very flattering fit.

Certain styles mentioned above are currently available at Nike Stores in South Africa.
