Nike Dri-FIT Challenger Flash Pants

One of the most recognisable logos on the planet, Nike’s famous Swoosh can be seen on every type of sportswear, but did you know that they started in running?

Blue Ribbon Sports, as they were originally known, began as an importer, offering Onitsuka Tiger running shoes to American athletes in the 1960s. In 1972, they created the first Nike-branded shoe, and the rest, as they say, is history.

With their gear now seen on sports stars and enthusiastic amateurs alike, today Nike continue their mission to “bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world”. And remember: if you have a body, you’re an athlete.

Their apparel ranges include the daily-run Miler series, race-ready Aeroswift clothing, and the all-day wearable Run Division collection.

Dri-FIT (Functional Innovative Technology) uses polyester microfibres to wick sweat away from your body, dispersing it throughout the material for fast evaporation. As the moisture moves from your skin into the apparel, it creates a cooling effect, giving the lightweight and breathable fabric an even fresher feel to help keep you at your best deep into your run.
