Nike presents a look at its new EK Umoja Collection, which is designed to celebrate Eliud Kipchoge's return to Berlin later in September. The word Umoja means unity in Swahili, which is the athlete's native language. The capsule is made up of both footwear and apparel that is inspired by the greatest marathoner in the world.
The entire capsule is now available to shop and is highlighted by five Nike running sneaker models. This features the Nike Alphafly 2, Nike Vaporfly 3, Nike Zoom Fly 5, Pegasus 40, and Nike Victory track spike.
