Duality Embellished with Gold: Kelly Hodgkinson’s New Collection for Nike Running

Middle-distance runner and one of the fastest women of all time in the 800 meters, Keely Hodgkinson, has unveiled her first collection made in collaboration with Nike Running. Keely has been one of NIKE-sponsored athletes since 2019. Her new collection combines speed and subtle elegance, embodied in both apparel and footwear.

Duality of the design

Stylewise, the collection focuses on the athlete’s duality. Fearless and dominant on the field, the athlete provides a magnetic and apologetic presence away from the competitions and tracks. The collection, rooted in Keely’s performance and presence, powerfully portrays this tension between chaos and composure and control and unpredictability.

Black foundation, gold metallic accents

The dominant colour of the collection is black, symbolising the athlete’s understated confidence. The metallic gold accents spanning the collection speak of the numerous awards and medals Keely earned on the big stage, European and World championships, and the Diamond League.

An Olympic gold medallist at the Paris 2026 Games, she continuously pursues greatness embodied in her gold-decorated footwear and clothing. As one of Nike-sponsored athletes, the British runner spent years working together with the company’s researchers and designers to provide insight and help improve products for both professional and amateur runners.   

“Having my own Nike collection is a dream come true. I hope every young girl who sees it knows that big dreams are worth chasing — because with hard work and belief, anything is possible.”

Keely Hodgkinson, a Nike athlete since 2019

Nike Running silhouettes: the Vomero Plus, Pegasus 42, Vaporfly 4 and Victory 2 make the centrepieces of the collection. The different silhouettes are designed for different aspects of training and competition.

  • Engineered for recovery runs, Vomero Plus provides outstanding cushioning options through a full-length ZoomX foam midsole.
  • Pegasus 42 model is designed for everyday training, as a full-length Air Zoom unit and ReactX foam midsole provide outstanding energy return.
  • Perfect for interval training, the Vaporfly 4 provides a propulsive feel and bouncy ride with ZoomX cushioning and a full-length carbon fibre Flyplate.
  • Victory 2 combines an Air Zoom unit, ZoomX cushioning and a carbon fibre plate for stable middle-distance races.

Although different in style and performance, the Nike Running silhouettes provide a cohesive look. Black uppers and gold details showcase Keely’s instantly recognisable design language, alongside custom touches such as detachable branded KH charms and specialised finishes.
