Nike unveils Aerogami, a new apparel technology with adaptable ventilation

For optimal ventilation, a series of tiny winged vents powered by moisture-reactive film opens as sweat builds against the skin, creating increased airflow and a space for sweat to escape.

When the body cools down and sweat dries, the vents close back up.

The new Nike Run Division Aerogami Jacket features the venting system across the chest and upper back of the garment—two of the areas where runners tend to heat up and sweat most.

Informed by testing in the NSRL and data visualisation from runners' heat and sweat maps, the vent placement varies between the women's and men's jackets to accommodate different needs. For example, vents on the women's jacket are placed around the area where a sports bra typically sits.

"We know feeling too warm, uncomfortable and distracted while wearing a running jacket is a common challenge many runners face, so we've developed an innovative solution that gives them increased breathability without compromising style and protection", said Jahan Behbahany, senior apparel innovation product manager in Nike's Advanced Innovation Collective.

The jacket also features Storm-FIT ADV, a combination of windproof and waterproof fabrics to help protect runners from wind and rain.

The Nike Run Division Aerogami Jacket releases in women's and men's sizing in the autumn of 2023 on Nike.com and at select retailers.
