Known for her speed and high style, Keely Hodgkinson is a celebrated British middle-distance runner from Greater Manchester, England. One of the fastest middle-distance female runners of her time, she has been a Nike athlete since 2019 and works with Nike researchers and designers to shape products for elite and everyday runners. The Keely Hodgkinson Collection is her first signature Nike pack.

The collection's selected running shoes are well-suited for every aspect of training and racing on the road or track. Here is a rundown of which shoe Hodgkinson wears for which purpose, from daily training to race day.

• Recovery runs: When Hodgkinson is heading out for a recovery run, she reaches for the Vomero Plus. Known for its ultra-cushiony feel and plush, full-length ZoomX midsole, the Vomero Plus is designed by women, for women.
• Daily training: Hodgkinson's go-to everyday running shoe is the Pegasus 42 for its extra responsiveness from its curved, full-length Air Zoom unit and ReactX foam midsole. This construction gives the shoe its powerful energy return, which is helpful in daily training.
• Intervals and race day: The Vaporfly 4 is Hodgkinson's top choice for interval training due to its powerful, propulsive feel from a full-length, carbon-fibre Flyplate and ZoomX cushioning. The Vaporfly 4 is an ideal running shoe for long-distance races and sprints alike.
• Track races: When competing in a middle-distance track event, Hodgkinson laces up in her Victory 2 distance spikes, which feature innovative Nike Air technology. The shoes have an Air Zoom unit along with ZoomX foam and a carbon-fibre plate for a powerful but stable feel.

In addition to the running shoe options, the Keely Hodgkinson Collection features a small selection of coordinating apparel for a complete look. Incorporating innovative Nike materials, the AeroSwift and Pro Sculpt sets are designed to reflect the celebrated athlete's style with functionality that every runner needs.

AeroSwift set: Feel like Hodgkinson when donning the AeroSwift pocket crop top and tight 5-inch shorts. There is nothing basic about these elevated performance pieces. Featuring Dri-FIT ADV technology, this set will keep you feeling cool and dry even while enduring the summer heat. Convenient storage pockets hold race-day essentials, while each piece's stay-put fit keeps you comfortable.

Nike Pro Sculpt set:For more coverage, the collection also offers the Nike Pro Sculpt long-sleeve top and Pro Sculpt 5-inch shorts. Tonal graphics and a bold Swoosh made of satin feel anything but ordinary. Subtle design details, including her Nike signature tornado logo, nod to the set's namesake.

The elevated design of the collection makes a bold statement and clearly references the Nike athlete's performance and personality. Designing the collection in black nods to Hodgkinson's unwavering confidence and control, while the splashes of metallic gold that accent each piece in the collection showcase her style, spunk and achievements. Additional touches include detachable "KH" charms on the running shoes.

The Nike athlete was heavily involved in the development and design of the collection, providing helpful insights to Nike researchers and designers in considering the needs of both everyday and elite runners.

"Having my own Nike collection is a dream come true," says the Nike athlete, who is known as one of the fastest female runners in the 800-metre event. "I hope every young girl who sees it knows that big dreams are worth chasing—because with hard work and belief, anything is possible".

The Keely Hodgkinson Collection was released worldwide on Nike.com and at select retail locations on 16 July 2026.
