Nike EK Umoja Collection
2 decades after Eliud Kipchoge set the world junior record in 5000m at the Bislett games, Nike release the EK Umoja Collection to celebrate the win, and his historic successes since.
Umoja in Swahili means unity, and to be part of a community, and the G.O.A.T. is as keen on celebrating togetherness as he is on collecting records.

In 2003, Eluid not only set records, but he won the world championship, all wearing the Nike Zoom Miler spikes which featured a white base and a red stripe through the Swoosh logo. The pack honours this colourway through a range of shoes and apparel, while also applying “Kipchoge-isms” in sometimes unexpected locations.
What does the pack contain?
It wouldn’t be a Eluid Kipchoge pack if it didn’t include the two shoes he made famous, inspired by Breaking2 and Inneos 1:59 challenges respectively the Vaporfly and Alphafly are pinnacle race day shoes for the road.
Talking of pinnacle race day shoes, it also includes the Nike Air Zoom Victory, if you’re having a pack inspired by racing spikes, you’re going to need a racing spike.
The last two shoe are his training shoes, designed for the hard miles that get you record times, the Zoom Fly 5 is hugely cushioned and fast, while the Pegasus 40 is the archetypal mile muncher.
The pack also includes a full outfit to match your new shoes, from Dri-FIT Kipchoge Stride 7inch Shorts to some Dri-FIT T-Shirts and Dri-FIT Kipchoge Windrunner Jacket, everything you could need to make a splash and follow in the footsteps of the greatest marathon runner of all time.
