Quick Summary
Additional Context
Nike unveiled a one-of-one speed suit for middle-distance runner Keely Hodgkinson on September 18, 2026, built for her signature 800-meter event, and the design’s core aerodynamic feature is 3D printed: color-shifting, delta-shaped vortex generators positioned across the suit to reduce drag where it matters most on her body. Nike describes them as the fastest vortex generators the company has built to date.
The suit, developed in close partnership with Hodgkinson herself, was handcrafted primarily within Nike’s LeBron James Innovation Center at the Philip H. Knight Campus, combining athlete insight, sport-science research, and advanced product creation into what Nike calls a fully integrated system of speed.
