With two weeks to go before the 47th Chicago Marathon, Nike has finally unveiled the race’s official collection. As with the other Majors, the capsule is highly anticipated by participants, offering both new technical pieces and, above all, tangible symbols of their achievement. More than a line of running apparel, it is a tribute to Chicago, its identity and its culture, with the city’s elevated train cutting through the Loop, the vibrant heart of downtown, as its backdrop.

A color palette that captures Chicago

The city’s iconic blue dominates the collection, joined by brighter shades and subtle graphic references to the skyline and the elevated train network, known locally as the “L.” The result feels distinctive, clearly rooted in the city’s DNA and its famous transit system. With this line, runners will carry a piece of Chicago with them to the starting line.

Performance gear powered by AeroSwift technology

The standout piece in the collection is undoubtedly the AeroSwift Dri-FIT ADV singlet. Built for pure performance, it is a favorite among runners: ultralight, breathable and close-fitting to help minimize chafing over 42.195 km. It is available in men’s and women’s versions.

With winter approaching, Nike is also offering pieces suited to everyday wear and training in cooler conditions. Designed for women, the UV Repel jacket combines water-repellent fabric with UV protection, finished with a subtle pattern inspired by Chicago’s transit network. For men, the Impossibly Light jacket celebrates the Chicago Marathon. Ultralight, packable and water-resistant, it is easy to stow away if the weather improves during a run.

A polyester tracksuit rounds out the range, with the Phenom Elite Knit Pant and Dri-FIT 1/4-Zip top: the perfect outfit for fall runs or post-training recovery.

A new colorway for the Vomero 18

When it comes to footwear, the star of the collection is the Nike Vomero 18. Ultimate comfort, maximum cushioning with a 46 mm stack height at the heel and 36 mm at the forefoot, plus an improved foam compound for an even livelier ride. The Vomero 18 is not built for chasing personal bests, but for soaking up training mileage or recovering after a race. The special Chicago edition also sports the city’s colors.
