Description

Faith Kipyegon will wear a special Nike track suit when she tries to run a mile in under four minutes. The suit has small nodes designed to reduce wind resistance.

When Faith Kipyegon toes the starting line at the Stade Charléty in Paris next Thursday, she’ll be wearing track spikes as light as 11 marshmallows. Her running suit will feature tiny nodes that mimic the in-flight characteristics of a golf ball. Her custom-fitted bra will be 3D printed.
