# The Best Nike Running Tops to Shop Now
##### Buying Guide
Focus on the mile ahead in these breathable, distraction-free running shirts from Nike.
Last updated: 14 October 2022
5 min read
The right running top is the kind that, once you put it on, you don't think about it again—no matter how many miles you're stacking up. When a top fits poorly, it can turn into an annoying performance impediment, with constant readjustments, tugging and possible chafing.
Picking the right running top mainly comes down to fit and fabric preference, and it may take a few tries to find the right one. But understanding what style you're most confident and comfortable in—whether a body-hugging crop top or loose-fitting short-sleeve—can be a good starting point.
Shop from the best Nike running tops for your upcoming race or run with this guide.

Available in both tank-top and long-sleeve styles, the Nike Dri-FIT UV Run Division Miller line contains UVA and UVB protection embedded into the fabric for runners exposed to the sun.

[](https://www.nike.com/za/w/mens-running-tank-tops-sleeveless-shirts-18iwiz37v7jznik1)
On hot, humid runs, clothing can make or break performance. The Nike AeroSwift Singlet is designed to keep runners cool and comfy in high temperatures, with lightweight, breathable fabric and Dri-FIT Technology that wicks away sweat. The tank is slim-fitting but not overly tight, ensuring runners feel airflow throughout their torso and chest during a workout or race.

## Frequently Asked Questions
What Tops Are Best for Running?
Although the best top for running will come down to style and fabric preference, look for sweat-wicking, breathable material that ensures you will stay dry and comfortable. Knowing what conditions you'll be running in can also help inform your decision, as some tops can retain body heat in cooler temperatures, while other tops contain extra perforation and airflow points for added breathability when it's hot outside.
What Type of Top Is Best for Running a Marathon?
A loose-fitting top—either a tank top or short-sleeve top—with breathable, sweat-wicking material is an ideal choice for longer runs. Athletes can also consider choosing a bright colour that will make them easily visible to onlookers during crowded races.
