As if it weren’t already hard enough to get ourselves up and headed to the gym or treadmill, exercise is more nuanced than ever before. With the gyms closed and home workout equipment reselling for prices rivaling your favorite pair of sneakers, cardio exercise methods like running and walking are starting to look like the best option. Staying active is important to so many and with that in mind, we’ve rounded up some of the best running equipment on our site for both beginners and veterans alike. Whether you’re trying to encourage a loved one to get active or looking to replace someone’s worn down running shoes, there’s running equipment on StockX for everyone.
Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next%
If your loved one has subtly or not-so-subtly dropped the hint that they could use a new pair of running shoes, Nike’s ZoomX Vaporfly Next% is just what you’re looking for. These shoes are amongst the best in the game, so good that it was up for debate as to whether or not the Vaporfly should actually get banned from the Tokyo Olympics. The Olympics didn’t end up being held and it was ruled that the shoes could be worn if it hadn’t been but even just the potential that they could be banned means they’re good. In terms of tech, this Vaporfly features two layers of ZoomX foam with a carbon-fibre plate in between. These have got to be your first option if you’re considering revamping your loved one’s running shoes this year.
Off-White x Nike Womens Running Jacket
Running gear is often created with function in mind, not form. But this Off-White x Nike Women’s Running Jacket combines the two, delivering outerwear that’ll leave your loved one protected from the elements in style. This Running Jacket was released as a part of Virgil Abloh’s “Athlete In Progress” capsule which included multiple drops of running gear designed specifically for women. The jacket features Nike and Off-White co-branding as well as three cargo pockets and a pocket on the arm for carrying things like keys, a wallet, and a phone. Best of all, it’s listed on StockX for below retail in every size. So if you’re looking for a steal, you’ve found it.
Off-White x Nike Shorts
These Off-White x Nike Running Shorts are your Holiday Season savior if your loved one craves activewear or streetwear in any way, shape, or form. Everyone loves a great pair of shorts, especially when they’re designed by Virgil Abloh. For those who aren’t super into running or just dipping their toe in the water, these shorts are still a great gift. Runner or not, nobody is going to be upset about receiving another pair of shorts and if they’re a fan of heritage Nike or Virgil Abloh, these will become a grail. That New Year’s Resolution to get fit gets a whole lot easier when you’re doing it in a fire fit and these Virgil Abloh x Nike shorts nearly guarantee that.
Nike Air Zoom Terra Kiger 6
Vaporfly running shoes are the best Nike has to offer but if that price point is a little high or you don’t know how much they’ll get used, we’ve got a wallet-friendly alternative that’s still widely praised. The Nike Air Zoom Terra Kiger 6 is one of Nike’s best non-Vaporfly running shoes on the market. What’s even better is that this sneaker can be found on StockX for below $100 USD in most sizes. Beyond the pricepoint, this running shoe is also pretty cute, delivering a blue mint upper with a speckled grey swoosh that’ll have the runner in your life moving fast and feeling fly.
Supreme Nike Boucle Running Hat
It’s entirely possible that the avid runner in your life already has their shoes covered and owns more shorts than they can keep track of, making them difficult to shop for. If that’s the case, a new accessory may be the way to go. Our go-to recommendation for a running accessory is the Supreme Nike Boucle Running Hat. The front of the hat features a Nike Swoosh logo and the sides are made of a red and white boucle material.
