Nike Unveils the 2025 Chicago Marathon Collection: Performance Meets Tribute to the City

Two weeks before the 47th Chicago Marathon, Nike has officially revealed the race’s 2025 collection. As with every World Marathon Major, this capsule is eagerly awaited by runners, offering both innovative technical gear and symbolic pieces that celebrate their achievement. More than just running apparel, this collection is a love letter to Chicago — its energy, architecture, and culture — with a design language inspired by the city’s iconic “L” elevated train looping through the heart of downtown.


| A Color Palette that Breathes Chicago

The city’s signature sky blue takes center stage, accented by brighter hues and subtle graphic nods to Chicago’s skyline and elevated rail network. The result feels unmistakably authentic — urban, bold, and deeply rooted in the city’s DNA. With this gear, runners will literally carry a piece of Chicago to the start line.

| High-Performance Pieces with AeroSwift Technology

The star of the collection is undoubtedly the AeroSwift Dri-FIT ADV singlet — a favorite among serious runners. Built for pure performance, it’s ultralight, breathable, and precision-fitted to minimize chafing over the marathon’s 26.2 miles. Available in both men’s and women’s versions, it’s designed for comfort from the first stride to the finish line.

With colder weather approaching, Nike is also rolling out cool-weather essentials for training and everyday wear. The UV Repel Jacket, designed for women, combines a water-repellent finish and UV protection, featuring a subtle pattern inspired by Chicago’s transit lines.

For men, the Impossibly Light Jacket pays tribute to the marathon itself — featherweight, compressible, and water-resistant, easy to stash away mid-run if the weather clears up.

Completing the range is a polyester tracksuit set — the Phenom Elite Knit Pants and Dri-FIT 1/4-Zip top — perfect for autumn jogs or post-race recovery.

| A Special Chicago Edition of the Vomero 18

On the footwear side, the spotlight shines on the Nike Vomero 18. Engineered for comfort rather than records, it delivers maximum cushioning (46 mm heel / 36 mm forefoot) and a refined foam for even more responsive feel.

The Chicago special edition embraces the same city-inspired colorway, turning this trusted training shoe into a collector’s item for marathon weekend. Ideal for logging miles in training or winding down after the race.

| Lifestyle Pieces for Everyday Wear

Beyond performance gear, Nike’s capsule extends into lifestyle apparel — hoodies, cotton tees, tracksuits, caps, and a sleek visor that’s likely to become a fan favorite. Designed for easy, everyday wear, these pieces let runners showcase their pride long after race day — during recovery, travel, or just around town.

The Chicago Marathon remains one of the world’s major fall running events, and this new Nike collection pays vibrant tribute to the city itself. Each piece feels like both a souvenir and a celebration, blending function and emotion — made to carry runners through 26.2 miles and beyond.

The collection is available now on Nike’s official website and at the Chicago Marathon Expo.
