Nike Running is proud to introduce the Keely Hodgkinson Collection, the brand’s first signature athlete pack honoring the accomplished middle-distance champion. This collection embodies the speed, focus, and unique spirit of one of the sport’s most influential athletes.
The collection, which includes apparel and footwear, reflects Keely’s multifaceted nature. On the track, she is determined, commanding, and in a league of her own. Outside of training and competition, she is authentic, captivating, and confidently herself.
This dynamic — between composure and intensity, control and unpredictability — characterizes Keely’s performance and presence, shaping every aspect of the collection. A solid black base reflects her quiet confidence, while metallic gold accents symbolize not only her accomplishments as an Olympic, World, and European champion but also her ongoing commitment to excellence.

Each piece also highlights Keely’s dedication to collaborating with Nike researchers and designers to provide athlete insights that drive product innovation for both elite and recreational runners.
“Having my own Nike collection is a dream come true,” says Keely, a Nike athlete since 2019 and among the fastest women of all time in the 800 meter. “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 Collection Running Apparel
The collection incorporates leading Nike innovation into designs that represent not only Keely’s performance but also her presence.
At the core of the apparel collection are enhanced performance essentials, such as the AeroSwift pocket crop top and AeroSwift tight 5-inch short, which incorporate Dri-FIT ADV technology for superior cooling to help athletes remain dry and comfortable. Designed with practical features like storage pockets for race-day nutrition and secure, adaptable fits, these items enable athletes to concentrate on their performance without distraction.
Enhancing these items are the Nike Pro Sculpt long-sleeve top and Nike Pro Sculpt 5-inch shorts, which feature tonal graphics and satin Swoosh detailing for a refined appearance. Discreet elements reflecting Keely’s identity, including her Nike signature tornado logo, contribute to a unified visual narrative that conveys motion, energy, and precision throughout each piece in her inaugural signature collection.
