Nike has introduced a unique medal for its 2026 After Dark Tour, a nighttime race series for women. This medal is designed to be worn as jewelry long after the race, instead of being stored away. The medal features a Nike Swoosh, a chain with laser-engraved Swooshes, and a city-specific carabiner for the race locations. The design team comprised only women, ensuring the medal met the practical needs of female runners.
The team worked closely with the manufacturing partner in Italy to expedite the design process. The medal's success led Nike to consider it a success, prompting the creation of a matching accessories collection. The goal is to keep the race and the accomplishments of the runners at the forefront of the participants' minds.
