Kenyan runner Eliud Kipchoge has teamed up with Nike to create a collection of shoes and clothes.
The collection called “EK Umoja” has eight items. It includes five pairs of Nike running shoes, a running jacket, shorts, and two T-shirts.
Nike said that they were motivated by Kipchoge’s win at the World Athletic Championships in 2003, when he became the champion in the 5,000 meter race.
The collection’s colors are a way to honor Kipchoge’s Kenyan background. It also includes some famous sayings by the athlete, like “No human is limited. ” He came up with this saying after being the first person to run a marathon in less than two hours in 2019.
Kipchoge says that the collection’s name, “umoja,” means “unity” in Swahili. It represents his emotions towards his running family and community.
People in Kenya are very excited about the launch on Twitter, which they now call X. However, some people have mentioned that the prices, which range from $40 (£30) to $275, are too high for most people in East Africa to afford.
