The most decorated middle-distance runner in history launches a high-performance collection with Nike ahead of her historic sub-4 minute mile attempt.
Nike joins forces with legendary athlete Faith Kipyegon for a new capsule of high-performance running shoes and apparel, designed to empower every runner chasing greatness. Released ahead of Kipyegon’s bold attempt to become the first woman to run a mile in under four minutes, the collection is as meaningful as it is technical, blending innovation with deep personal storytelling.
Available globally from June 20 on nike.com and select retailers, the collection features the three latest Pegasus silhouettes for road running, the Alphafly 3, Victory 2 spike, and Nike’s Aeroswift performance apparel for women. Each piece draws on Faith’s Kenyan heritage, her unparalleled speed, and her dual identity as both athlete and mother. As she explains, “This collection represents the parts of my life I bring to every race: my Kenyan roots, my dedication to my daughter, and the commitment to push beyond limits in life and in sport.”
Purple—Faith’s favourite color—infuses the entire collection with energy and passion, accented by red and green tones inspired by the Kenyan flag. A double Swoosh symbolises the bond between Faith and her daughter, a nod to intergenerational strength. Subtle details, like her initials (which also stand for “Fastest Athlete”), encourage runners to chase their own breaking points.
Faith’s journey, from running barefoot in Kenya to breaking world records in the mile and 1500m, inspires every detail. And on June 26, she’ll attempt the impossible: shaving over 7 seconds off her personal best to break the 4-minute barrier—a threshold first crossed by Roger Bannister nearly 70 years ago.
More than a collection, it’s a statement of intent. Nike’s long-standing partnership with Faith underlines the brand’s ongoing mission to support women in sport through disruptive design, athlete-first innovation and a commitment to rewriting the rules.
